This page made me laugh out loud! “Does lipstick – stick = lip?” “Does tunafish + tunafish = fournafish?” Kids will be challenged and have fun while solving the math problems throughout the book. Every single page is full of fun and interesting math problems about a regular school day.

Math: If you have a kid who loves math then this book is for them.

This is my mother-in-laws favorite book from her math classroom and it’s easy to see why she and her students loved this book so much. I enjoyed how this book made me think, and made me laugh, and showed us how math is important part of our lives. I found some of the math problems she thought of difficult to solve.

I love how they turned every part of the girl’s day into a math problems. We’re counting on our fingers following instructions in the book

We enjoyed the abstract looking math-themed illustrations that made the math problems come to life. But overall they both enjoyed reading this book with me. MY BOOK REVIEW:Ī lot of the references to fractions in the book went above my young kids’ heads, because they are still at the basic addition and subtraction level. She bravely calculates fractions, and in the morning she has broken free of the math curse. Then she dreams about math, in her dream she learns she has to do fractions to get out of the math room. She is exhausted and overwhelmed by all the math by the end of the day. She has enough and says she’s allergic to cupcakes, just so no one has calculate the fractions. The whole class starts trying to calculate the fraction of cupcake everyone gets so they can all have one. Many of her math problems involve fractions, but she avoids solving them at all costs.Ī student brings in 24 cupcakes, but there are 25 people including the teacher in the class. She starts to think her teacher put a math curse on her because everything she looks at and thinks about is a math problem.įrom calculating how much time she has to get ready for school in the morning, to how many kids are on her bus, to how many rows of seats are in her classroom, her day is one complicated (and hilarious) math problem after another. Suddenly her whole world seems like one big math problem after another. Math Curse starts with a student’s math teacher telling her class that they can think of almost everything as a math problem.
