  • Giganti, Paul, Jr. Each Orange Had Eight Slices: A Counting Book. Mulberry, New York, 1999.

This book illustrates multiplication problems with colorful drawings just as students illustrate their multiplication problems during this activity. Since the problems in this book have three factors, you can use the book to extend work with multiplication to problems with three factors.
