Editorial Reviews

Miss Prime teaches her animal students to add by having them play detective and invent word problems in six comic-strip stories. Ages 5-8. (Jan.)

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly

Gr 1-3In a style similar to that of her successful Fraction Action (1994) and 2 X 2 = Boo! (1996, both Holiday), Leedy guides readers through the learning-addition maze by using examples from the everyday world. Her growing complement of math titles pairs well with Stuart J. Murphy's "MathStart" series (HarperCollins). Here, in separate vignettes, Miss Prime and her class of animal students learn to add by playing detective and counting clues, taking a class survey, inventing word problems, and figuring out a lunch bill; two other situations focus on adding the profits of a yard sale and keeping score in a game. Although the breaks between the different scenes are not very well delineated, Leedy's explanations are clear and concise, and her colorful pictures feature a bevy of amusing animals. The math projects presented can spawn ideas for teachers and parents. Under Leedy's sure hand, Mission: Addition will not be Mission: Impossible.Barbara Elleman, Marquette University, Milwaukee, WI

School Library Journal

From Leedy (2 x 2 = Boo!, 1995, etc.), a set of short math lessons in the form of comic strips: addition facts and how to write them; adding two numbers when one of the addends is greater than ten; adding columns of numbers; keeping a running total; creating addition sentences; totaling a bill when all of the addends are whole-dollar amounts. Miss Prime, a teacher of indeterminate species, presents the lessons and poses the problems; five enthusiastic pupils solve most of them, but some are left for readers, with answers on the last page. There are lots of ways to generate more addition, subtraction, or logic problems from these mini-stories, and one of them contains a lesson on sets. It's good, real-world math for home or classroom, with only one unsolved problem: Why is there a table of contents and an answer key that refer to specific pages, when the pages aren't numbered?
