Product Description

Synopsis

When the queen of the bugs demands that her army march in even lines, Private Joe divides the marchers into more and more lines so that he will not be left out of the parade.
Inside This Book (Learn More)
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

5.0 out of 5 stars Teaches division with remainders, 15 Aug 2001
By 
C. D. Moseley "Cherri" (Norwich, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Remainder of One (Hardcover)
'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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super little book, 18 May 2011
This review is from: A Remainder of One (Paperback)
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointing, 22 Feb 2003
By Paula Burch - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Remainder of One (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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to division, 12 Mar 2005
By CarrieMay - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Remainder of One (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.
