Funbooks 1 and 2 grew out of our first experiences doing Let’s Read Math workshops.  We adapted the lessons for younger students (K-1), giving them extra attention and guidance.  We used the same lessons to challenge fourth grade students to work independently.  Instructionally, the books and activities are especially appropriate for children in grades 2-3. 

Punchouts on the cover of Funbook 2 include fraction wedges, ice cream cones and hamburgers (for a lesson in combinatorics), fish, roses and little houses (for other math activities). A Funbook 2 Teacher’s Guide is available with teaching hints, and answers for the Funbook pages.

See the list of books featured in Funbook 2

Note:  Eight of the Funbook lessons have been modified and expanded into full workshops that are frequently used as family nights in schools.
