365 Penguins

Product Information

Hi dee ho! It's off to a picnic we go! One hundred very hungry ants hurry to sample the delights of a picnic, but marching in single file seems too slow for 100 empty tummies. The smallest ant of all suggests they travel in 2 rows of 50, four rows of 25 . . . and the division begins. One Hundred Hungry Ants is not only a spirited and whimsical story, but also serves as an enjoyable visual introduction to math. Learning to count has never been more fun than in this crazy tale of a dog, a lion and a tiger all showing off how many apples they can balance on their heads as they skip, walk the tightrope and roller skate their way through the book. Dr Seuss books are much loved amongst young audiences. What do you do when a penguin shows up on your doorstep? This little boy thinks the penguin must be lost and tries to return him - but no one has lost a penguin. The boy decides to take the penguin home himself and takes a rowboat to the South Pole. But when they arrive, the boy realises the penguin wasn’t looking for a home after all.

It could be a good idea to use this story over a week, finding ways to solve the problems and making your own. We read about some problems of having too many penguins in one household. For examples, they occupied the bathroom too frequently, they became restless when summer came, they were very noisy, they stink, and they ate too many fishes. The illustrations are hilarious. Amy the sister went crazy, the mum was always in action solving out the instant problems in the household, the dad was always thinking of how to resolve the penguin issues with mathematical solutions and formulae, while the little boy seemed to be the only one enjoying the whole ridiculous situation of a massive crowd of penguins. A family finds a penguin mysteriously delivered to their door every day for a year. At first they’re cute, but with every passing day, the penguins pile up—along with the family’s problems. Feeding, cleaning, and housing the penguins becomes a monumental task. They’re noisy and smelly, and they always hog the bathroom! And who on earth is sending these kwak-ing critters?

Meet Robyn Boid - a small, dedicated bird who loves to build nests and dreams of becoming an architect. She lives at the University, where she listens to the architecture class through the window each day. Eager to learn, Robyn practises building all the important architectural shapes, but all the while, she seeks the perfect design for her very own nest.

In all of these cases of organization, the book talks about the solution breaking at some point. Once you have 145 penguins, a dozen boxes of a dozen each isn’t enough. Once you have 217 penguins, you can’t organize them in a cube. (It’s not entirely clear why the family can’t buy more boxes or have an incomplete rectangular prism layer, though…) Toni Stagray (2011). "Let's Read" (PDF). Michigan Child Care Matters.

Gilbert the penguin has always wanted to fly. But with only small, fluffy wings as his aid, learning to fly is a bigger challenge than he ever thought it would be. The other penguins tell Gilbert there’s no use, and that he’ll never be able to fly, but Gilbert is determined and won’t let any obstacle stand in his way.

Penguins are adorable and fascinating animals - did you know that, even though they’re flightless on land, they evolved to fly underwater? It’s no wonder that these creatures charm children and adults alike. Mouse and her friends want to play tug-of-war, but they’ll need to use some everyday math to figure out how to make teams that are equal. As Mouse looks at various solutions she is not sure what it means to be equal. Nothing works until Mouse starts to think about it mathematically and divides the teams based on weight. Wonderful illustrations capture Mouse and her animal friends from whiskers to tails as they work to measure and equalize their teams based on size, weight, and effort. A perfect addition to any STEM/STEAM collection that shows readers how math can be used in everyday problem solving.

If one is a snail and two is a person ... we must be counting by feet! This is a fantastic story to stimulate children’s counting skills and could be used in any primary classroom. The discussion may include skip counting and other rich mathematical discussion promoting additive and multiplicative thinking. This book can be used for a whole class mathematical investigation. Having nothing to bring to the game of Addemup, Zero cannot play with the rest of the players in Digitaria and so must come up with a clever plan that will let him play despite his numeric shortcomings. Simultaneous. Follow the life of a little penguin in this extraordinary picture book. Watch as the little penguin hatches from an egg between his father’s feet, faces natural predators, survives in the harsh, icy climate, and finally cradles an egg between his feet, where his own little penguin hatches. Spoiler ahead) in the end, it was revealed that the Penguins were sent over by Uncle Victor, an ecologist who tried to smuggle the birds out of South Pole to their new habitat at North Pole. Again, don't try to analyze the sanity and the reasonableness of this decision. As I said, this is a fun book to play with maths and learn about months and days.
