I would like to share a new Holiday Gift Guide Sponsor with you. Life of Fred Elementary Series Complete 10 Book Set (Life of Fred) a series of books created to help children learn math. This set of books is published by Dr. Stanley F. Schmidt. As I was looking around the internet to find books Charlie could use in math I saw quite a few people using this series of books. I can’t wait to check them out.
This series of books is called Fast Freddy and can be read like a storybook but contains math problems inside each book. For Charlie this is awesome because Charlie is struggling in math and the school is not wanting to get him a Tutor. Anytime I find a book that I think would help Charlie learn math I try and purchase the books because the more we work with Charlie the better off he will be.
Life of Fred is a book series that is a narrative about a funny math prodigy, Fred. It reads like a children’s book but includes math concepts – pretty great!
Below is what one of the pages Charlie will be doing looks like.
I have a question for you have you used the Life of Fred books in your classroom? If so what did you think of them and why?
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
