About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child begins to express frustration with school math or asks the dreaded question: When will I ever use this in real life?

By peeling back over 70 flaps, children discover that math is not just about memorizing tables, but is the secret code behind everything from ancient Egyptian pyramids to modern computer games. This interactive guide reframes math as a tool for discovery and creativity rather than a chore. It touches on themes of curiosity and self-confidence, helping children who feel behind to see the subject through a lens of wonder. The book is perfect for elementary-aged children who enjoy tactile learning and visual puzzles. It serves as an excellent conversation starter for parents who want to foster a growth mindset toward STEM subjects.
