A cute rhyming tale about colorful bears, this book is one large math activity. I love how whimsical this book is. It's very charming. I think this book is best paired with bear shaped counting manipulatives so that children can follow along with the book. This book doesn't extend out to other subject areas, so keep that in mind. However it does cover a multitude of math areas like graphing, counting, and subtraction.
I think this book would be best split up over a unit. It can be read out loud as a whole thing to introduce children. If you want kids to follow along with their own bears, you'd be sitting for a while. I would recommend this book for kindergarten or first grade and I strongly suggest other teachers pick this up.

This fun and educational book teaches the concepts of graphing, addition, and subtraction, multiplication and division, and ordinal numbers, all while using a rhyming text to keep the learning process fun.

Teddy bear math helps teachers to see how counting bears can help students with understand addition, subtraction, graphing, multiplication and division. This book also gives teachers lesson ideas to implement using manipulatives to help with the concepts outlined previously. An aspect of the text is that it rhymes, so it integrates word play to make learning from the book interesting and catchy.
ELL Connection: What I really like about this book for all students including ELLs is that it doesn't necessarily have to be read to the children. Although the words on the pages may not all be ELL friendly, the math concepts can be taken from this book and taught to the class as a hands on activity. The book uses toys and food to demonstrate how to divide and multiply, so this can be imitated in the classroom to teach those skills with a hands on approach to benefit ELLs as well as tactile learners.
Recommended grade level: K-3

This book is full of math possibilities! There's estimation, sorting, graphing, adding, subtraction, multiplication, division (with remainders), grouping, pictures on arrays, and ordinal numbers. Great book to keep at a math center with a bookmark on the page depending on the skill the class or student is working on.
