JUST A LITTLE BIT
Title: Just a Little Bit
Author: Ann Tompert
Recommended Grade Level: K-5
Summary: When an elephant and a mouse try to play on a seesaw, they need help from a vast number of animal friends to help the seesaw balance.
Classroom Ideas: This book could be used to introduce the idea of "equal". It could also be used to help children understand that, not only does (for example)10=10, 10=2+5, 10= 5+5, 10= 2+2+2+2+2 and so on. It could also be used when teaching the idea of weight and measuring.
