Synopsis | This inviting Young Math book shows that all division involves guessing (or estimating). Whether you are dividing the contents of a bottle of soda, a pile of walnuts, money a group of friends has earned, or the books in a second-hand library, the important thing you do is to guess how many or how much each person should get of what you are dividing. Next, you revise your original guess so that the division comes out as evenly as possible, and finally you decide what to do about what is left over (if there is anything left over). Through lifelike examples, Robert Froman meaningfully illustrates the process of division, which is often such a great stumbling block for students of arithmetic. Gioia Fiammenghi's illustrations add a lighthearted touch to this interesting and informative book. —From dust jacket b-392
