Customer Reviews
The Fly on the Ceiling is a CLASSIC Myth!!
This easy reader combines history, laughs and math. Teaching the Cartesian Coordinate System, this book lends itself to great classroom teaching and learning. Try having your kids or students play "Battleship" after reading!!Powerful illustrations too!Bravo!I bought a class set for my classroom!
A difficult classroom - One quiet moment
AS a new teacher in 6th grade mathematics classrooms with wildly varying ability levels, I look for varied ways to present materials. Some of the children don't know how many minutes are in an hour, some are ready for algebra now. This book is a great quick read to introduce the coordinate plane. The kids who are struggling are grateful for a moment to catch their collective breaths and learn math at the same time. The kids who are breezing by appreciate the humor. It may have been written for a much younger audience, but it is clever enough to hold the attention of 12 year olds.
A Fly on the Ceiling
This is a GREAT children's math book. I always buy it as a gift for friends with kids and they love it too!
