Gilbert the penguin has always wanted to fly. But with only small, fluffy wings as his aid, learning to fly is a bigger challenge than he ever thought it would be. The other penguins tell Gilbert there’s no use, and that he’ll never be able to fly, but Gilbert is determined and won’t let any obstacle stand in his way. There is so much in this story, the use of word problems to try and solve maths problems is excellent. It could be a good idea to use this story over a week, finding ways to solve the problems and making your own. As Mama and Baby wind their way through the market stalls, cheeky Baby collects five juicy oranges, four sugary chin-chin biscuits, three roasted sweetcorn, two pieces of coconut ... until Mama notices that her basket is getting very heavy. Poor Baby, she thinks – he must be very hungry by now! Blue Penguin is just like the other penguins, except he’s blue, and the other penguins don’t think he’s the same as them. Blue Penguin is left all alone. Can he think of a way to convince the other penguins that he’s like them, after all?

Describe where your birthday is as a fraction of the year- My birthday is in April, that is about 1/3 of the way through the year. Spoiler ahead) in the end, it was revealed that the Penguins were sent over by Uncle Victor, an ecologist who tried to smuggle the birds out of South Pole to their new habitat at North Pole. Again, don't try to analyze the sanity and the reasonableness of this decision. As I said, this is a fun book to play with maths and learn about months and days.Penguins is a 2006 children's book by Jean-Luc Fromental and illustrated by Joelle Jolivet which tells the story of a family who receives a penguin each day for a year. It was a Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor Award winner. In all of these cases of organization, the book talks about the solution breaking at some point. Once you have 145 penguins, a dozen boxes of a dozen each isn’t enough. Once you have 217 penguins, you can’t organize them in a cube. (It’s not entirely clear why the family can’t buy more boxes or have an incomplete rectangular prism layer, though…) Rebecca is a Digital Copywriter for the SEO team and spends most of her day writing copy for our resources.

Which One Doesn’t Belong? is a powerful, flexible resources that teachers can use to provoke lively discussions and deep learning about shapes with students of all ages. When Eli and his father visit an unusual zoo, they count the creatures in each exhibit. Eli sees one alligator, then one bison, and next two camels. Soon a number pattern emerges and Eli thinks he can predict how many animals will be in the next exhibit. Explore the zoo with Eli as he runs ahead to test his hypothesis. I love it, but I can understand how this is not the favourite of all people especially seeing how illogical the entire storyline is. Investigate more calendar fractions by dividing the year into terms, seasons, number of lunar cycles etc. Talk about places in the world where the year is divided into halves: wet and dry seasons.If one is a snail and two is a person ... we must be counting by feet! This is a fantastic story to stimulate children’s counting skills and could be used in any primary classroom. The discussion may include skip counting and other rich mathematical discussion promoting additive and multiplicative thinking. This book can be used for a whole class mathematical investigation. In one minute, you can blink your eyes twenty times, hug your dog, plant seeds, say good-bye, watch the rain, or even save a life. So much can occur in this sliver of time—one minute can feel like a singular experience. This poignant picture book is at once an introduction to time for young readers, an ode to living each moment with purpose, and a thoughtful exploration of how children experience one minute (may it seem short or long) playfully, profoundly, and with a boundless sense of possibility.

A family finds a penguin mysteriously delivered to their house door. Although the first penguin was a lovely surprise, the quantity of penguin’s increased everyday and soon the total reached to 365.

Throughout the book, the family organizes the penguins in a number of different ways. When there are sixty of them, they make four pyramids of fifteen penguins. The narration states that four times fifteen is sixty. Depending on the age of the reader, though, it won’t be obvious that the pyramids contain fifteen penguins, so it would be interesting to stop there and talk about the pyramids. When will they receive half the penguins? What day is halfway through the year? (being an odd number, students will have to decide that is half way through the 182nd day.) What do you do when a penguin shows up on your doorstep? This little boy thinks the penguin must be lost and tries to return him - but no one has lost a penguin. The boy decides to take the penguin home himself and takes a rowboat to the South Pole. But when they arrive, the boy realises the penguin wasn’t looking for a home after all.Hi dee ho! It's off to a picnic we go! One hundred very hungry ants hurry to sample the delights of a picnic, but marching in single file seems too slow for 100 empty tummies. The smallest ant of all suggests they travel in 2 rows of 50, four rows of 25 . . . and the division begins. One Hundred Hungry Ants is not only a spirited and whimsical story, but also serves as an enjoyable visual introduction to math. Even kids can get involved in science! Ecologist Dr. Neeti Bathala and Jennifer Keats Curtis collaborate to bring us the story of these adventurous citizen scientists. Leena and her mom volunteer each summer to count the horseshoe crabs that visit their beach. With their dog Bobie at their sides, the duo spends a night on the shore surveying horseshoe crabs who have come to mate and lay eggs. Readers will learn valuable facts about these ancient animals and how they can get involved in the effort to conserve horseshoe crabs.
