Product Description
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2AIn this math lesson in story form, four bear cubs gather nuts, then blueberries, and finally seeds for their mother's Blue Ribbon Blueberry Pie. All of the contents of their baskets are then placed in sets of 10; because only three did their fair share of the work, a tally of the ingredients shows that there aren't enough for the pie. Then the fourth little cub runs to collect everything and a recount, again in sets of 10s, shows that there are now enough nuts, berries, and seeds for mother's dessert. Each will get a fair bear share. The addition problems are clearly shown. Each bear's items are shown in numeral, pictorial, and word form, although the final addition is just in numeral form. A two-page appendix gives suggestions of more things to count in everyday life such as cars, crayons, kitchen supplies, and even trees and dogs. This seems a bit heavy-handed for the story, yet too slim for those needing an explanatory math text and practice. It will serve caregivers and teachers who need to kickstart their common-sense teaching skills.ANancy A. Gifford, Schenectady County Public Library, NY

Very Helpful, Oct 6 2010
By Andrea Nicole Young - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fair Bear Share (Paperback)
I'm a homeschool Mom with a 7 year old daughter who could never quite grasp the concept of place value. We've struggled with it the past two years since most math curriculum rely heavily on the concept of place value. We read this book and something clicked for her. I'm sure she was more developmentally ready for the concept, but still--the book really was a turning point. The illustrations are great and the concept is taught well. Bravo and thank you!
