I didn't have a lot of time to write about this one, so that's why it is kind of brief.
Polar Bear Math is a math book that uses the help of two baby (in the beginning) polar bears that were abandoned by their mother to explain fractions.
They talked about how to take care of the bears and they also helped you learn fractions in the doing of that. For example there was one that said that the bears had to be fed 1/12 of their total food 12 times a day. And then they said stuff like what fraction of a week does one person get it out of the three people that cared for the bears. So one person got the bears every three days. So how many times would that person have them in a 30 day month?
I think this is a great way to learn fractions in the way that the book had the fractions and bits about the story of what happened to the polar bear cubs. The story kept me reading the math.
Afterward my mom gave me some fractions to work on and I got them done like BAM! I'm done!
