Two bugs gather some beans for a party they try to group them so that everyone will get an even amount of beans, there is just one problem, the unlucky bean thirteen! No matter what the bugs do they cannot divide the beans equally and don't want the bad luck that comes with the thirteenth bean. This book is a great way to introduce division to your students, the pictures go along with the division and is an awesome visual for the students to see how division works. Matthew Mcelligot has the unique ability of creating great childrens stories that are filled with math concepts. Another great math story to check out is The Lion's share aloso by mcelligot.
