 Hershey's Fraction Book July 28, 2008
This book arrived in very good shape. Fractions are sometimes hard for some children to understand. This book allows for the study of fractions in a fun way. The use of equal fractions is also discussed and shown. GREAT teaching tool.

I have gone into the classrooms of 4 of my children when they were in 3rd grade and learning fractions armed with this book and a Hershey's bar for each child. I use cardboard cutouts in the shape of the Hershey's bar and use the overhead projector. It's a fun project and a great book that makes the kids excited about fractions, and gives the teacher a little, much-deserved, break.

The Hershey's Milk Chocolate Fractions Book will help teach children the concept of dividing a whole into fractions in a fun and wonderful way. It begins with a huge Hershey bar being unwrapped to show it's 12 blocks. Each page takes away a fraction of the bar. The remaining fraction is colorfully illustrated by a crew of little people who cart their painting tools from page to page, leaving paint spills and footprints. I read this book to a class of 3rd graders just getting into fractions and they loved it. We used our math manipulatives to see the fractions as they were broken down. It was a wonderful way to begin a lesson!

Chocolate Fever, Anyone? November 5, 2001
17 out of 19 found this review helpful
Although Chocolate Fever is the name of a book, most children
would be DELIGHTED to contract this fever! As elementary school
teacher, I have used Hershey Bars and their wrappers to teach
fractions for years. The kids LOVE it! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this
book to parents as a primary teaching tool or as an enrichment
resource. It not uses pictures of the Hershey Bar to show several
fractions in twelfths, but explains their relationship to the whole. For example, 3/12 + 9/12= 12/12=1. On one page it shows two ways to name a fraction-- as the fraction itself and in
simplest form (reduced to lowest terms), although it doesn't
say so in exactly those words. At the end, the author shows
13/12, and says that more than one whole candy bar would be used.
I like this book because it can be easily adapted for use with
older children by including mixed numbers, writing fractions in
simplest form, and even decimals/percentages. Also, I enjoyed the
inclusion of facts and questions about The Hershey Candy Company
and the ingredients used, as well as where cacao trees grow.
This book could also be used as part of a unit about chocolate!
Buy it and enjoy the fun as you eat your Hershey Bar!
