My grandma loves to quiltBut little did I knowThat she would help me with my mathAs she taught me how to sew.Kathleen L. Stone, a National Board Certified educator, quilter, author, and grandmother, combines all of her skills in this delightful book to help children gain a better understanding of fractions. Her clever combination of photographs and whimsical illustrations will draw children into the story as they identify the fractions shown in each block and quilt. Through a variety of actual quilt blocks and her rhythmic text, children will identify halves, thirds, and quarters. For added enrichment, Mrs. Stone has included additional activities to do with children to help them practice their fraction skills. As an added bonus, Mrs. Stone has also written an accompanying book, From My Quilted Heart to Yours (Book 2), that provides detailed instructions on how to sew the blocks and quilts used in Grandma's Quilts.Grandma and I made lots of quilts.Some we kept. Others we gave away.But I know that I will neverLook at quilts in quite the same way.Every block that I make.Will fill me with satisfactionBecause I'm really getting betterAt learning all my fractions.
