Summary: Math and sugar make learning fun???
Review: I read this book to a group of children ranging from 5 to 8 and they all got a kick out of it. Maybe just from the anticipation of eating the M&M's. This book flows as a poem with colorful M&M's on each page. Math lessons include addition, subtration, division and multiplication. Some of the concepts was dificult for the kids to grasp because of the little detail conveyed in the text. But when it said to eat them they understood completly. This was one of the ways that I learned to count, you don't need this book to to do these activities. Don't let the colorful cover fool you. You can be much more creative with a bag of M&M's.

Summary: More M&M's, Please!
Review: I recommend this book to parents of home schooled children and elementary teachers. It is very similar to the AIMS M&M activities that many of us educators have used. The following skills are addressed: sorting by color, bar graphing by color,
addition, subtraction, multiplication using arrays ( 4 rows of 10),and division. A word of caution: the division is extremely
simple-- dividing your candy into two equal groups ("fair shares"). Don't buy the book if you're looking for something to help you teach the division process; you'll be disappointed.
The author does a much better job with her presentation of multiplication, and she includes ordinal numbers at the end of the book. I gave a rating of 4 stars because I think the author
could have included a few more concepts such as "square numbers."
Kids love those! Overall, this is a fun book that uses an
appealing, edible manipulative that kids who dislike math will
get excited about!

Summary: M & M's
Review: More M & M's Math
What an exciting math book for children! The bright cheery M&M's characters with their funny and interesting faces makes math fun and easy. I read this book to three boys and they had fun with the estimating, sorting by color, graphing by color, addition, subtracting, factoring, multiplication, problem solving, and division. Of course their favorite part was eating the M&M's but who could blame them. I would highly recommend this book to any grade school child, or an adult who loves M&M's

Summary: A Fun and Yummy Learning Tool!
Review: Ok, teachers have some fun with your kids. Go grab a bag ofM&M's for each student and get this book and you are set. Ifyou read the M&M counting book, this is the next one to read to your class. This book is more advanced and covers estimation by having the students look at their M&M's and guess how many they have. Then, the book goes on to sorting by color and simple graphing of the different colors. After that, the book goes into factoring, multiplication, and division. This book would be a fun review for a 2nd-4th grader. The book is colorful, fun, and a great treat!
