Fractions, Decimals, and Percents
This brightly illustrated book from frequent collaborators Adler and Miller quickly presents several math concepts related to fractions, decimals, and percents. Using a county fair as a backdrop, Adler discusses how to change a number in one form to its equivalent in another; and how the value of a digit depends upon its placement in relation to a decimal point. Miller’s digital artwork illustrates the ideas clearly, though the profusion of color and pattern is occasionally distracting. Offering a more active approach to learning equivalents, the final page shows how to make a simple memory game and directs readers to the illustrator’s Web site, where colorful cards are available for downloading. Because the book includes several different lessons, it will be most useful for review of concepts already learned. Grades 3-5. --Carolyn Phelan--This text refers to theLibrary Bindingedition.
