This seems like a fun book for kids to get them thinking about math. I gave it as a gift, and the child's mom appreciated that.

Cute story! Mr. and Mrs. Comfort follow the spaghetti recipe to share comfort food with their neighbors and family. The book has real-life 'math problem and solving' situations. Dividing-sharing equally and multiplying to make enough food. Not to mention there is some nice shape recognition in the story as well for younger students, and for older students - how to optimize your seating arrangement space (nice for area and perimeter). Thanks for making education fun!

Used for a resource for part of my primary education course. Really useful and beneficial for lots of areas of the national curriculum 😊

I remembered reading this book as a child and enjoying it so I decided to give it to my 5-year old cousin for Christmas. Re-reading it to her on Christmas, I realized I should have probably saved it for to be a year or two older so she could get more of the math concepts (mostly area and perimeter) but she still enjoyed the story and I'm sure she'll learn the math concepts in due time.

Este libro quizás tiene un nivel un poco elevado para niños de 7 años españoles. Me gusta mucho porque relaciona las matemáticas con el día a día y hace pensar a los niños. El tamano y la calidad muy buenas. Perfecto para un regalo original o para poder leer en familia.

Bought for a job interview during which I had to do a lesson about area and perimeter. In the event I didn't use it, as it would have taken too long (my lesson was only 30 minutes), but it is a good book for teaching children about area and perimeter whilst making them think - it doesn't just 'spoon feed' it to them. I am now saving it for a full-length Maths lesson and will definitely use it. I would estimate that it is suitable for KS2: a high ability Year 4 class or Years 5 and 6 or even Year 7.

It was wonderful! My kids got into the story and were shocked that the family kept moving tables. I also partnered students up and gave them 8 square tiles like the book. The created as many different table arrangements as possible, then recorded the perimeter of each. Great way to explore perimeter.

Where has this been all my life! This is such a fun activity for teaching area and perimeter! There are a TON of free activities to go along with it. I just had my students draw and table the amounts in their journals as we progressed through the book. It was high interest and a great way to incorporate literature into your math block. I'm always on the look out for good math literature....if you don't have this one, get it!
