Bake Infinite Pie with X + Y

As a non-mathematical person who taught math to elementary students, I have great appreciation for this book because it uses everyday activities to explain much deeper mathematical concepts. I would have given this a much lower score, however, if it weren't for the author's addendum, which really do......more

X and Y are kids who dream of making a pie infinitely wide and infinitely tall, so they ask Aunt Z for help. She explains that there are infinite ways to make a pie. Aunt Z helps them make pie crust - which they roll out in different shapes, a triangle, a square and a circle. They choose fillings th......more

Does a fine job of breaking down the concept of infinity and uses mathematical concepts for the characters which is fun. The story line and other literary elements are a little week but that is made up for in the content.......more

I'm always on the lookout for STEM picture books that teach STEM concepts, not just biographies. This was a sweet book that my 5yr old and 8yr old cracked open immediately and asked to be read multiple times. And I feel that they're getting more out of every reading, because the book touches on so m......more

But she's right, especially when t......more
