"This is a great way to introduce children to prime numbers, in a fun and enjoyable way. I had a great time figuring out the pictures with my class, with my 5 year olds figuring out how to multiply after a going through a few monsters. I've also used it in a class of 7 and 8 year olds to teach them about prime numbers and they've been discussing the prime monsters ever since."


This compact, innovative book counts to 100 using prime numbers represented as 'monsters,' each with identifying characteristics (two resembles a bee with two buggy eyes, and three is an angry-looking triangular creature). The book opens with explanations of multiplication, prime and composite numbers, and factor trees, then moves on to a list of numbers. Each prime number looks unique, while composite numbers are represented by scenes involving their prime monsters (eight is illustrated as three of the beelike twos, i.e., two times two times two. Great for creative learners and teachers who want to , visualize the multiplication of numbers and deepen their understanding of place value.
