Title: Reinforcing Mathematical Misconceptions
Product review: Although the text is rhythmic and engaging and the illustrations are fun, the author claims that "Equals can be used like is, or totals, or makes." This simply isn't accurate. The equal sign means "the same as." 3 + 2 is the same as 5 or 5 is the same as 3 + 2 or 4 + 1 is the same as 3 + 2. In the context of this book, children will continue to misunderstand the equal sign.
