Fractions BINGO Game

Kristina, from School Time Snippets, created this fractions bingo game to use as a way to reinforce what her 7 year-old was learning about fractions. She has even created game boards for you to download and print out. This game is played a little differently than regular bingo. Instead of someone calling out a space to be covered, each player takes turn rolling a pair of dice. Instead of simply covering a spot with a marker, the child has to fill in the fractions.

Book Review: Record-Breaking USA

There’s something great about every state, and Clive Gifford has collected fun facts, trivia and firsts from every state in Record-Breaking USA: Celebrating America’s Biggest, Brightest and Bravest.

Each state gets a one or two-page spread, with facts scattered around the page and illustrations by Paul Hammond. The page lists a state nickname, the capital, state mammal, a fun fact and some famous residents, as well as firsts and record breaking events that happened in each state. 

You’ll learn that Alabama is home to the biggest unclaimed baggage center in the world, that Florida is home to the most toxic tree (the manchineel tree, which has sap that can burn the skin and make people go blind, and its fruit is toxic) and that Iowa is home to the largest model of a strawberry, to name a few facts. Loma, Montana, holds the record for the largest temperature range in a day (from -54 to 49 degrees F, which is a 103 degree difference), while Ohio’s Geauga County once employed the smallest police dog on record, an 11-inch-tall chihuahua/rat terrier mix. 

South Dakota has the world’s biggest Bigfoot statue, the cotton candy machine was invented in Tennessee, and a car that was 91 percent cake was driven (and eaten) in Washington state in 2021, now holding the record for the fastest moving mostly edible car. 

As you might guess from these sample facts, kids will find this book funny and probably learn some things, too. In addition to the states there’s a page for Washington, D.C., where President Theodore Roosevelt broke the record for the most hands shaken in one day (8,513, a record that’s held since 1907), and the US territories, as well as records that cross state lines and span the globe. 

Readers will also learn about records set in space and read what it takes to be a record breaker. There are even a few records listed that you can try to break yourself. 

This fun and colorful book is sure to engage kids who love facts, and would be a great one to take along on your next road trip.
