Summary

This playful picture book demonstrates key math concepts to children in a merry story featuring the Arithmechicks， ten math-loving chicks。

The Arithmechicks have invited their new friend Mouse for a sleepover。 When Mama says it's time for bed， the clever chicks decide it's time to prolong the fun instead！ During the story， readers are invited to count and take away during everyone's favorite game of hide-and-seek -- and to find Mouse， who hides in a different place in each illustration -- until all settle down for bed in the warm， cozy conclusion。 The book is the perfect introduction to essential math for young children and their caregivers。 It includes a helpful glossary that defines the eight arithmetic strategies the chicks use throughout the story。

I thought this was a long shot for our 3s/4s class， but it was a readaloud hit with student participation。 Lively illustrations。

The Arithmechicks play hide-and-seek and do subtraction。 Like Arithmechicks Add Up: A Math Story， there are a wide variety of representations of subtraction shown in the illustrations， with explanations of each in the backmatter。I found this one a little harder to see in the images what was going on/what should be counted， but it's still very possible。 And I appreciate that the subtraction isn't happening just one at a time！ The Arithmechicks play hide-and-seek and do subtraction。 Like Arithmechicks Add Up: A Math Story， there are a wide variety of representations of subtraction shown in the illustrations， with explanations of each in the backmatter。I found this one a little harder to see in the images what was going on/what should be counted， but it's still very possible。 And I appreciate that the subtraction isn't happening just one at a time！ 。。。more

This was a fun read for my son that is going into first grade。 We had a good time solving the problems and counting the chicks as we read。

3 stars for this cute math story

Edward Sullivan ，

A playful introduction to subtraction。

Rebecca Anne ，

A cute mix of counting， addition， subtraction， and hide and seek with a storyline。

Mary ，

The idea is good but the book is too busy。 The illustrations are busy， the text is busy， and too much is going on。

I have to applaud a well-done picture book with a math theme！ They are a wonderful， non-threatening way to introduce and/or reinforce math concepts a young child is learning。 This is another book in the "math" series featuring these little chicks who are playing hide-n-seek and learning to subtract in this latest edition。 I have to applaud a well-done picture book with a math theme！ They are a wonderful， non-threatening way to introduce and/or reinforce math concepts a young child is learning。 This is another book in the "math" series featuring these little chicks who are playing hide-n-seek and learning to subtract in this latest edition。 。。。more

I think this series is so adorable。 In this installment， the chicks all hide when mama hen calls them for bedtime。 As each chick finds a hiding place， you do the subtraction to determine how many still need to hide。 I think once you understand that part， it's easier to follow along with the book （it's tricky because you can still see glimpses of the "hiding" chicks， so you have to remember not to count them。 Also sometimes you're counting the chicks on one page， and other times counting the chic I think this series is so adorable。 In this installment， the chicks all hide when mama hen calls them for bedtime。 As each chick finds a hiding place， you do the subtraction to determine how many still need to hide。 I think once you understand that part， it's easier to follow along with the book （it's tricky because you can still see glimpses of the "hiding" chicks， so you have to remember not to count them。 Also sometimes you're counting the chicks on one page， and other times counting the chicks on the whole spread， so that had me confused for a bit）。 I love that Mouse is there with them！ 。。。more

I adore this book！ Kids will love the story and the counting。 What a fun way to introduce young readers to math concepts。 Warm， fun art， too。

Peacegal ，

This cute book demonstrates subtraction with a roomful of adorable chicks and Mama hen， too。 This reminds me of the sort of book that would have been purchased for me as a kid who struggled with math。

Lauren Kerstein ，

ARITHMECHICKS TAKE AWAY: A MATH STORY is clever， adorable， and chock-full of fantastic teaching strategies！

Sandy Brehl ，

Fun sequel to the developing series of chicks who do math。 In this case it is a bedtime book with lots of seek-and-find visual potential and effective language to model ways to consider the math concept of subtraction。 Back page indicates a variety of ways to support visualizing the relationships between whole/parts in subtraction number families。

Tim McCanna ，

Who knew taking away could be so fun？ Ann Marie Stephen's ten sweet little chicks （and their mouse friend） introduce subtraction concepts with playful bedtime antics。 It's a brilliant way to engage young mathematicians through story and character。 Jia Liu's detailed illustrations will keep readers hunting for that ever illusive mouse， and the whole package adds up to a great book that works on many levels。 Highly recommended。 Who knew taking away could be so fun？ Ann Marie Stephen's ten sweet little chicks （and their mouse friend） introduce subtraction concepts with playful bedtime antics。 It's a brilliant way to engage young mathematicians through story and character。 Jia Liu's detailed illustrations will keep readers hunting for that ever illusive mouse， and the whole package adds up to a great book that works on many levels。 Highly recommended。 。。。more

Loved it！ Great way for young kids to learn basic math！

Personally， I think math is fun。 Yes， I'm weird like that。 But I realize it's not so much fun for most folks - especially kids - so that's why it's so wonderful to see a book like this！ The "Arithmechick" books combine bouncy rhythm with a cute story and basic subtraction skills to create a perfect way to introduce math concepts to young ones。 Definitely worth checking out！ Personally， I think math is fun。 Yes， I'm weird like that。 But I realize it's not so much fun for most folks - especially kids - so that's why it's so wonderful to see a book like this！ The "Arithmechick" books combine bouncy rhythm with a cute story and basic subtraction skills to create a perfect way to introduce math concepts to young ones。 Definitely worth checking out！ 。。。more

This book introduces young children to problem-solving math strategies in such a cute and clever way。 Adorable chicks and their friend mouse have lots of adventures in this fun story。 Back matter adds to the STEM learning。

A barnyard game of hide and seek to reinforce math skills？ Ann Marie Stephens is brilliant。 My take away: A great educational book and all around fun read。

Here's a fresh new take （away ;-）） for bedtime。 Ten energetic chicks & their friend mouse try to out wit Mama hen with subtraction distraction。 A fun， before bedtime game that will help little chicks --and children --wind down at the end of the day。 Who wins？ Everyone with a warm， fluffy hug from Mama。 Wonderfully， rich back matter will encourage kids to *play* with math。 Adorable illustrations add layers to the game & expand the interaction with readers。 Here's a fresh new take （away ;-）） for bedtime。 Ten energetic chicks & their friend mouse try to out wit Mama hen with subtraction distraction。 A fun， before bedtime game that will help little chicks --and children --wind down at the end of the day。 Who wins？ Everyone with a warm， fluffy hug from Mama。 Wonderfully， rich back matter will encourage kids to *play* with math。 Adorable illustrations add layers to the game & expand the interaction with readers。 。。。more

What a fun way to introduce the concept of subtraction！ The illustrations are really cute and scratchy， as if painted on wood。 Kids will have fun finding the "giggling beak" and the "two tails" and such as the chicks scramble to hide from Mama。 Backmatter provides lots of useful math info such as creating number bonds and ten frames。 Math activities galore。 Take it away， Arithmechicks！ What a fun way to introduce the concept of subtraction！ The illustrations are really cute and scratchy， as if painted on wood。 Kids will have fun finding the "giggling beak" and the "two tails" and such as the chicks scramble to hide from Mama。 Backmatter provides lots of useful math info such as creating number bonds and ten frames。 Math activities galore。 Take it away， Arithmechicks！ 。。。more
