Subtraction Action

My kids love this book and its counterparts--Mission Addition and Fraction Action (I think that's the name of the fraction book, but don't quote me on that). I love these books that Loreen Leedy created. They're colorful, silly, fun, and educational. My kids have read them so many times, giggling over the silliness, and thoroughly enjoying learning about math. Highly recommend.

Excellent customer service. Good quality. Fun learning approach. Enjoyable and entertaining.

Excellent book for use with subtraction.

Awesome

Good book for my classroom math library.

This is a great learning tool. My daughter loves to read, so it's wonderful she is both reading and doing math at the same time.

My first grader loved this book. It reinforced the subtraction she's learning at school in a fun, non-worksheet way. We read it in one sitting in about 30 minutes, but it's also easy to read 1-2 chapters at a time. The subtraction concepts are K-3rd grade - from very introductory to double-digit subtraction with regrouping. This was a great review of basic subtraction and an entertaining introduction to what's to come in later grades. There is a lot going on on many of the pages which can be good for some and distracting for others. We found the "Fair is Fair" chapter about waiting in line a little hard to understand the first time through with all of the actions on the pages. We'll definitely revisit the later chapters in the 2nd and 3rd grades as she learns those concepts in school.

ISBN 0439300371 - Printed in the U.S.A. No age range specified. Paperback, 32 pages. Published by Scholastic Inc. in September 2001. By, and illustrated by, Loreen Leedy.Miss Prime's class learns to use math in everyday activities, such as using tickets to the school fair and subtracting to find out how many are left. Presented in an almost comic book style.I'm not a fan. The pages are sometimes too cluttered with things that distract from the math. The illustrations are quite nice, just too much at times. Children who have difficulty focusing on math might find that this book helps them, without them even being aware. For that, it deserves some credit.- AnnaLovesBooks

This book is a great "hook" when introducing subtraction especially in a three part lesson. The colourful pictures andreal life situations are perfect to introduce different levels of subtraction understandings.
