This book has great vocabulary for math and science as it goes through what a possibility is, as well as probability, odds, and improbable situations. As it explains these ideas it also gives plenty of visuals and examples for students to follow along with. I wouldn't do a whole read aloud with this book, cover to cover, but the examples used in the book would be great for students to digest one at a time and work with. The back of the book also has plenty of ideas to incorporate in the class, such as making paper plate spinners and encouraging students to get hands on with possibility. ( ) That's A Possibility gives several examples with detailed illustrations explaining probability and all of the terms involved. The book details an example, then ask a question to ascertain the reader's understanding. I think this book is great for middle school students anytime probability comes up. I enjoyed reading it and I look forward to using it in my career. This book can also be used on younger children to help them understand when things are more or less. In a book out in simpler words for younger kids to understand, Bruce Goldstone writes about possibilities through various word problems. He teaches kids how to make predictions and use deductive reasoning to figure problems out. I loved how even though the book mainly focuses on terms like “possibility, improbable and likely,” you still learn other concepts and skills along with those. no reviews | add a review
