Mathematics in a story-Lemonade for sale
1. The story “ Lemonade for sale”
was written by Andrew Einsprunch, and in the book, it talked about a boy who
wants to buy a bicycle without enough money. In this case, he chooses to open
sell lemonade to make money. In the book, this little boy uses lots of math
methods to find out how much money he should spend, and how munch money he
should make to buy a bike. He calculates the cost, the revenue and the profits.
Finally, he raises enough money to buy a new bicycle by him own.
2. This book uses so much math concepts to solve
little boy’s problems. For example, in the book, the boy use math to calculate how
much money he should make and how munch money he should spend as cost. In this
case, in this book, it has lots of math words also, like revenue, cost, profit
etc.
3. I think learn math through a
book is really interesting and easy, because the math methods are easy to
remember and forgettable. For example, in this book, I learn how to calculate
my revenue and budget, and also I know how to make money through math ways. In this
case, I think it’s a good way to learn math through reading books and people
will love it.
yeah i agree that this is a good way to learn math, especially for kids! i remember i had lemonade stands all the time, and if i had a book like this maybe i would've been a lot more of an entrepreneur and saved my money up as a kid :-)
ReplyDeleteBy using math terminology in a fun story, kids will definitely have a better understanding of mathematical skills, such as profit, revenue, and cost. These are great lessons to be teaching children!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you and Brenna -- using more advanced terminology in a children's book will definitely make math seem less intimidating. Also, I think it's great to teach kids about budgeting too, so great explanation of that!
ReplyDeleteemma,
ReplyDeletelemonade for sale was a popular selection for this post! you do a good job of explaining the text and i like your final paragraph where you say that literature make math a little easier. you second paragraph could have used a lot more detail, like an example from the book or an explanation of the concept that you saw embedded in this text. other than that. nice job.
