Equal Shmequal (Charlesbridge Math Adventures)

Excellent math read aloud!! I definitely recommend this text! My first grade students loved this book! We used it to kick off a math unit on demonstrating understanding on whether a math equation is true or false. Teacher pay teacher had a great unit to supplement this book. In addition, we used a balancing scale that proved whether the equation was equal or unequal, balanced or unbalanced. Have fun!

I love this book! I do not think it is to wordy at all for my 1/2 graders!! It will hit on being equal and estimation. I think the kids will enjoy hearing the book and better grasp the concept without even realizing it.

I saw a couple reviews saying this was wordy. My kids love stories and don't mind if they are long. I personally didn't think it was too long or wordy, but I could see how some might. We loved this story. It was adorable and got a few giggles along the way. Cute addition to a lesson on balance.

Covers the meanings of equal in a cute little story with charming illustrations. Good book for early STEM collections.

My 4 year old and 5 year old love this book and it is genuinely fun to read as an adult.

My class and I love this book. It not only teaches about equal in regards to numerals and equations but also equal as in weight and balance scales. Perfect to enhance understanding and curriculum.

As a first grade teacher, we have been teaching the students the meaning of the equal sign. Next year, I will introduce the equal sign with this book. This year, I used it to review the concept of the equal sign…we had a lot of great classroom discussion about it.

I bought this because I was hoping to find them cheaper than they were in the stores. This was just as good as ordering from the company! I would recommend them to anyone.
