The Penny Pot (MathStart 3)

I ordered this to go along with my first graders math lessons on counting coins. It’s a cute little book with a fun story line, that ties in learning along the way!

Probably best for pre-school children

The book was great a read. I love the concept of teaching kids how to identify coins and count. I love the colors that was used to illustrate the pictures. I also like that the author referenced additional books with similar concepts to read and the glossary at the end.

This item came exactly as described

This book was used for my math classes, it was especially helpful to both my first-grade and second-grade students. Thank you for making education fun!

VERY cute book. The children (7 and 8 years old) were enthralled. The story line was strong and the message of sharing was evident. However, this does not teach children to save THEIR OWN money. It is a little too socialist for me - seriously - I don't want to teach my children to wait on someone else to drop their pennies into a pot so my kids can have what they want. The story should have focused more on how the little girl could have EARNED her own pennies.

This book went perfect with my 2nd grade level counting money lesson during my student teaching. I was evaluated very high for incorporating literature in my math lesson. I couldn't be happier with my decision to purchase this book.

This series of books is one of my favorites for introducing new mathematical concepts in the classroom!! My lower and upper elementary students love them.

My son loves these math start books. This one is pretty good, it teaches counting out change. The only thing that I didn’t consider would be that the illustrations of the money are that of american currency. They also have pennies which is a bit outdated for our currency. My son is still enjoying the concept and the different looking money isn’t spoiling the overal lesson. This book is really well thought out and enjoyable to read.
