The Great Divide: A Mathematical Marathon

This book is a good start to develop math sense about division. Certainly it isn't going to teach rules, but my kids seem to get it. They are young (2 and 5) and keep asking for this book; they like the story and illustration. It compliments "2X2=Boo!," which I highly recommend for younger kids.

Just as another reviewer stated, students in my classroom actually choose to pick this book for silent reading (4th grade). They really like the photos in the book but the story keeps them interested!

I thought this book was very cute. It was a great way to introduce the concept of division in my class.

My 3rd graders enjoyed this as a read aloud and oodles of them waited to reread it independently, as well. The illustrations are fun, the phrasing easy to read out loud,...overall, I was pleased.

Really cute book for introducing division! My class loved it...and so did my kids at home.

My students loved the story
