SUMMARY: Simple math terms illustrated with the help of M&M's Chocolate Candies to make learning math fun. NOTES: Found this title while trying to find books featuring chocolate and was not what I was expecting. Good use for a visual supplement to other math instruction -- good definition of math terms. However the text is in clunky rhymes and do the M&M's really add anything to the book? Covers simple subtraction of single and double digit numbers. Also features adding two numbers to check the answer.

I like the bright yellow cover of the book. This book introduces three different concepts, such as sorting M&M by colors, comparing and also subtraction of M&M. This book is unique because it focuses on using M&M when subtracting.
