About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts saying 'I'm just not a math person' or shows visible frustration with their schoolwork. It is the perfect antidote for the 'math-phobia' that often sets in during the middle elementary years. Rather than drilling formulas, this book reframes mathematics as a series of clever tricks, puzzles, and real-world superpowers that anyone can master. The content focuses on building self-confidence and curiosity through humor and hands-on experiments. It acknowledges that math can be annoying and difficult, but then turns that frustration into a sense of wonder. By the end, children see math as a creative tool for understanding the world rather than just a subject they have to pass in school. It is ideal for ages 8 to 12.
