Math is FUN!
October 7, 2009These books really make learning about math interesting and entertaining. I need to come clean that I took not a single math course in college. Perhaps if the adorables find the fun in math, they won’t take the same great pains to avoid it. Wishful thinking??
1
One Grain of Rice
My all-time favorite. This is a clever, beautiful tale that demonstrates the power of math and good thinking.
2
How Big is a Million?
The book includes a poster with one million stars and I was floored how many a million is. A LOT.
3
See Inside Math
Why is it that I LOVE everything Usbourne creates? This is a barn-burner – packed full.
4
Math Curse
A funny tale of a boy lost in a world of math.
5
Adding It Up
Each page is a different numbers activity to introduce math to the youngest adorables – WONDERFUL!
6
How Much is a Million?
This is another great book about the magical million number. Both are worth a good read!
7
Pigs Will Be Pigs
Frankly, not my favorite, by my adorable loves this series. Teaches great math concepts.
8
Spaghetti And Meatballs For All!
A great tale that demonstrates how we use math in everyday situations.
9
Anno’s Mysterious Multiplying Jar
Hello factorials! I had to look that term up, but this book teaches it to elementary adorables! And well!

on October 8, 2009 7:04 amI LOVE math curse. I’ll have to check out some of your other recommendations.
Another favorite series of ours is by Cindy Neauschwander; and is Sir Cumference and…the First Round Table,.the Great Knight of Angleland, Isle of Immeter, the Dragon of Pi; the Sword in the Cone.
A bit of both math and geometry. (which I admit that I never took a geometry course, so these are very helpful to me too)
