Fair Is Fair! (Math Matters)

Product #:	1575651319
Description:	This series entry explores the concept of bar graphs. Marco complains that his allowance is not fair compared to what his friends get and lobbies his dad for an increase, but to no avail. Inspired by a school lesson, the boy presents his father with two bar graphs, the first indicating the dollar amounts he and his friends receive as an allowance, the second showing the number of chores they do at home. When Marco's dad sees his son's charts, he uses the same idea for a presentation for work, further reinforcing the many ways that graphs can be used. Finally, he agrees to raise Marco's allowance to a new "fair" amount. The contrived story is helped enormously by Palmisciano's vividly colored, lively cartoon illustrations. The featured graphs are easy to read and understand. At the end of the book, Dussling includes another set of graphs along with questions for readers to answer, as well as suggested activities requiring adult guidance.--Mary Ann Carcich
