This book uses famous paintings from very famous artists and constructs a math problem from the painting. This book ties together art and math. Each problem is written in a poem. This book could be a fun entry or exit ticket in the classroom to get students' brains thinking but nothing too challenging. This book focuses on grouping, which could be used when learning division.

The author of this book uses poetry to introduce art and with that, certain influential artists and their pieces of work. With each new page comes a new artist and a new set of numbers to find with the images on the page. This book is interesting because it exposes students to older styles of art and makes it a fun challenge to find the sequesce of numbers and pictures on the page. ( )

This book has great information about artist and how to create art while using math. It had great problem-solving skills that the students will learn how to use. I thought it was a great read and would be great to use within a lesson. ( )

This book contains pictures of grouped objects on each page and instructs the reader to find a number of different ways to combine the groups in order to reach a specified number. I like that the book engages the child in problem-solving tasks, but I think that children may find it difficult to remember which group combinations they already used, possibly resulting in unnecessary confusion. I also like that the book contains famous works of art and includes the artists name and the year in which the piece was created. ( )
