First Sentence
The story of Joe might just well explain what happens to numbers when they must remain after division, and they're left behind as lonesome remainders. Read the first page

'A remainder of One' was a great hit in my Year 3 class. Everyone enjoyed Joe's adventures and learnt all about division with remainders at the same time. The setting and numbers involved meant that everyone could participate. The bug army's chant rapidly became the class chant and when we dramatised the story for an assembly everyone had a great time! A very useful book on many levels.

Shared at a Maths Specialist Teacher course, this is a lovely little book for looking at division and remainders. You could use it to extend discussion with older ones into factors and other properties of number.

disappointing
22 Feb 2003
Format:Hardcover
We loved "One Hundred Hungry Ants", written and illustrated by the same team, but "A Remainder of One" is flawed by having language that is more advanced than the mathematical skill it is intended to teach. I would recommend it for a child who is advanced enough in language to have no problems with the meanings of words such as "former", and "infantry", and yet slow enough in math to need the lesson that 25 leaves a remainder of one when divided by 2, 3, or 4, but not 5. I spent more time explaining to my six-year-old child that the sergeant is Joe's boss, and that "former" means what he used to be but no longer is, than I spent on reading the book! The attractive block-print illustrations lack the clever jokes of those found in "One Hundred Hungry Ants", as well.

Good introduction to division
12 Mar 2005
Format:Hardcover
"A remainder of one" is a good introduction to division. Second graders enjoyed the story yet the concept of division was too advanced for them. Third graders were intrigued by the explanation of division through out the book. The ants lining up row after row, making all rows even, was a great visual tool for third graders to understand the idea of division and remainders. Overall a good book to read- it keeps the students intrigued and keeps them thinking.

This book was an awesome resource for teaching my third graders about division! They enjoyed almost as much as I did.
