Product Description:
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 .

This is a fun book and an entertaining story. It's also a good way to teach multiple ways to add to a number and multiple ways to represent a number (2 groups of 25 are equal to 5 groups of 20, both represent 100.) Really awesome book for elementary math teachers.

I bought this book after reading all of the positive reviews. I hate to be a grouch, but I am disappointed and will return the book for the following reasons: First, children need repetition to learn. Instead of merely showing the ants running around to rearrange themselves with each division and then going on to the next, the book should reiterate the new number of rows and how many are in each. More importantly, the message of the story is negative. It shows that the divisions were a waste of time, ... Read More

This is a terrific book -- when you get into it, the words are almost automatic. The math just sort of sneaks in. Very fun to read.
