Hi dee ho! It's off to a picnic we go! One hundred very hungry ants hurry to sample the delights of a picnic, but marching in single file seems too slow for 100 empty tummies. The smallest ant of all suggests they travel in 2 rows of 50, four rows of 25 .

Awesome!

This is a fun book and an entertaining story. It's also a good way to teach multiple ways to add to a number and multiple ways to represent a number (2 groups of 25 are equal to 5 groups of 20, both represent 100.) Really awesome book for elementary math teachers.

Awesome and clever mathematics book!!

I'm a college student working towards my Elementary Education degree, and a mom of two young children. I purchased this book while taking a mathematics course, so I could introduce some more advanced mathematics concepts to my four year old. He loves this book! It has a silly cute repetitive song, and teaches about division and multiplication. There is a list of other suggested reading material at the end of the book, and I'm going to get each one of them!

Great read aloud

This is a terrific book -- when you get into it, the words are almost automatic. The math just sort of sneaks in. Very fun to read.

math through litiracy

This book not only teaches math (division and multiplication) it is really fun to read.
from the catchy rhyming song, to the illustrations showing how even the turtles were already taking food by the time the ants arranged and re-arranged themselves.
points to discuss with your child or students: why were the ants so late for the picnic? the answer can be a practical one - they wasted too much time rearranging themselves - or a mathematical one - one long line of 100 ants would get there faster than 10 lines of 10.
why were the ants so angry at the littelest ant?
also it's a good time to explain the characteristic of ants: they go in a single file and share everything.
the other book "a remainder of one" was better, because it was a solution to a problem rather than a creation of a problem
