Have you ever used your (math) skills to outsmart someone?
The Picture Book of the Week is Inch by Inch, written and illustrated by Leo Lionni.
About the Book:
Inch by Inch is about a clever inch worm who avoids being eaten by helping birds measure themselves, inch by inch. He measures the tail of a robin, the neck of a flamingo, a toucan’s beak, and several more until he receives a challenge that tests his skills.
Watch the read aloud below:
Writing Exercise for kids:
The inchworm in this book has to think quickly to get out of a difficult situation. Think about a time you have used your math (or reading or science) skills to solve a problem. Write about what you did.
