A bespectacled hippo named Miss Prime and her class of math-minded students show off their subtraction skills at the school fair. The book tackles conceptual understanding (what it means to subtract) and demonstrates problem-solving strategies (writing and solving number sentences). Colorful, stylized illustrations provide lots of visual clues, and answers for all questions are included.
