"Kids, young and old, fall in love with math when they see how real-life and effortless it becomes thanks to these books." --Kimberly D. Mueller, Ed.D., First Grade Teacher, Ashbrook School, Lumberton NJ
Treasure Map is perfect for teaching mapping to second, third, and fourth graders. Matthew has found a treasure map, and soon the Elm Street Kids' Club is off on a quest. The map guides them into a wonderful, magical world, but it's the real-life math skills of understanding distance, scale, direction, and symbols that will help Matthew, Sheri, Meg, Danny, and Jed--with some assistance from Petey the parrot--find a treasure hidden fifty years ago.
Kids will love the story and the funny illustrations by Tricia Tusa.
