Description
A Fair Bear Share by Stuart J. Murphy is a story that teaches children about regrouping in math through everyday activities like sharing and sorting. Mama Bear has agreed to make her special pie if the bear cubs gather enough nuts, seeds, and blueberries, but they need to count their berries, seeds, and nuts correctly to find out if they have enough. The MathStart Series uses real-life situations to introduce simple math concepts, making it easy for young children to understand. The book includes activities in the back that adults can use with children to extend learning opportunities. In this story, the bear cubs learn about regrouping by counting their berries, seeds, and nuts by tens and ones. This lesson is presented in an entertaining way, thanks to John Speirs's illustrations of the irresistible bear cubs. The book is suitable for young children and aligns with school grade levels and curriculum standards.
