Reviews for Tiger Math

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a book about an orphaned baby tiger and how the zoo staff tracked his weight gain to see if he was staying healthy after the death of his mother. This would be great for when studying graphing , as a number of graphing systems were discussed. This could be great for kids that are interested in animals but maybe not math. It is also a great way to point out the practical applications of graphing. I would use this during a math unit. I might start out the book and then might start asking the kids to graph the data themselves. Reading Level 1.4
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is agood book to use to introduce graphs to young children. The story is engaging. For the levels pk-3 the concepts of a tiger or block representing a certain number might be a little difficult in the early range. The story is engaging enough that I would recommend reading this to the lower range anyway.I gave this a 2.5 star rating because this book would not be useful for my purposes (secondary math teaching). These concepts of graphing are usually well mastered by the low end of my range, so this book would not offer any assistance.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Tiger Math explains the concept of graphs to young students by telling the story of T.J. the Siberian tiger. On the left side, the book shows one of four styles of graphs, picture, bar, circle, and line, and on the right side, T.J. the Tiger reaches a new milestone. I think this book will definitely capture the attention of any reader because the pictures of the tiger are very cute and the story is fairly interesting. However, with readers just starting to understand graphs, the material is too advanced.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Who isn't a sucker for a cute little baby animal? My kids certainly are and this book was filled with adorable "ohhh" inspiring pictures that really actually made them interested in the graphs. Fun with graphs (and math, shhh) ensued.
