Seize Life Of Fred: Cats Developed By Stanley F. Schmidt Distributed As Interactive EBook

as good as the first one, It's interesting to me how many lifelessons Schmidt sneaks in there along with the Math! My children find it endlessly entertaining,

I'm always delightfully surprised to see how well the lessons stick when they are taught through literature and reallife experiences rather than dry textbook facts that are quickly forgotten.


Very applicable and effective for early elementary grades! We all enjoy these books, mathmazing This third book in the series largely follows the pattern of the first two, and so did our experience,

Later chapters finally introduced some challenging ideas to ouryo, namely prime vs notprime aka boxable numbers and categorizing large collections into distinctly defined but not itemized sets.
We spent a fair bit of time working together on these handful of questions,

I am still certain that LoF, while engaging for the target audience, is not sufficient mathematics practice on its own.
More on that amp why/how my family is using it anyway in my review of book one, sitelinkLife of Fred: Apples, which you can find sitelinkhere.




I read this aloud every day during snack, One of the best decisions I have ever made, On to Dogs. It was very funny when he found the cat, Fun, engaging, outside

of the box math curriculum, My kids LOVE Fred, his silly humor, and learn much along the way with far less effort than with traditional math books.
I like Life of Fred, The way Fred talks about everything is so goofy, And I like Fred's drawings, I also like to see Kingey's drawings, more like oil painting, This one was actually pretty funny with the whole "cat" scenario but when Fred got cheated it was just so raw and it really made me sad.
What can be learned in Bookof the Fred series: Cats I learned that cats are not a simple carnivore, but are obligate carnivores.
That is especially true if the cat turns out to be a loose tiger cub, Fred's adventures start with no heat in his building one February night because the building inspector said the university president ordered a hiring freeze, which the inspector understood as turning off the heat.
So, one strange event leads to another, with telling time, counting money buying a lemon of a space heater, recognizing patterns which is how Fred acquired the strange kitty, learning place value because the "kitty" made a mess of pill boxes and they had to be restacked, and mentioning prime numbers because mathematicians like playing with numbers, along with all sorts of word concepts and geography lessons.
Five year old mathematician/teacher Fred with his pointed nose and square head keeps this adult engaged in his story page after page.
I love I love all the life of Freds so much Love this math series still!! We love Life of Fred, Even the two year old cheers when I say the immortal words "Your Turn to Play", Also, an introduction into tesseracts and obligate carnivores, and a handy way to think of prime numbers,
I HATED mathematics in school, My children love it mostly because of these books, read with amp rated by Ben and Mabry The title realy matches the story My kids are obsessed with Fred and Kingie.
Eh, It was pretty good even for a second time around, Fred is just silly. I do like how it covers a lot of math topics, It helps put math words in regular language, this is a great math book,
We're loving these books, My son doesn't want me to stop and he's getting all the concepts in them just listening to it, I especially loved the way we were lead into prime numbers, We are reading through this series during our morning time routine, It is amazing how much information is contained in each book, It must be a winner when myyear old pipes up at dinner time and says "brushing your teeth and going to bed are not commutative".
