how to “do math” (according to a first grader)

"How to _" books were my favorite things to create in elementary school. I remember brainstorming what to write about and being eager to use my teachers black pens. I loved finalizing my book. Recently, I was going through some of my best sellers and I found this masterpiece; How to do math, written and illustrated by 7 year old Sophia.

First, we have an incredible cover. Demonstrating the authors expertise in this field, along with a mini illustration of the artist herself. I'll give this page an 8/10 as it lacks consistency with the authors signature. Maybe this is what the author is known for?

This page is really helpful for beginners. I'll give this page a 9/10 because pencil is spelt as, "pensol"-don't confuse it with the oil company. Below is a pensol product that the author didn't mean to mention.

The back of this page includes a motivational quote, written by the author herself;

"You have to be smart to no math and you yous to be smart" translation: "you have to be smart to know math and you used to be smart" The following page provides - arguably - the most important steps. We all know that without a table, you can't do anything! I love that she reminds you not to forget yourself when solving an equation, very considerate. :))

Rating for this page would be a 9/10 because instructions are clear, but get is spelt with an "i". On the next page, step 3 was unclear. Personally, I don't know what an eqashine is. Not even google does....

I give this page an 8/10. There are many spelling errors but it doesn't interfere with the message.

The following page offers an alternative to using your hands for addition problems. These materials weren't listed in page 2. Where are they from? The drawings are inaccurate as it says 10 but there are only 5 in each circle. I would rate this page a 7/10. Author needs to go back to school and learn how to solve "eqashines".

To end this book, the author concluded (where there would normally be a blurb), with a lovely message, "Now you no how to do math rite!" > translation > "Now you know how to do math right!"

Overall, the author did a good job writing and illustrating this book. Provided the resources needed for solving the equation, as well as, step by step instructions. There were many creative changes and spelling errors that the book could go without, but it defintely sets the book apart from the others! What a unique way to approach a math problem. <3 take this survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/K2ZZCXT
