Math'n'Maddox

<p>When classmate and frequent tormentor Bobby Blair makes fun of Mathilda’s incorrect answer to their teacher’s question of how many quarter cups are in a cup Mathilda despises her nickname even more. Why did her dad give her such an awful nickname? Poor Mathilda has unfortunately been called Math since she was a baby. Unfortunate because mathematics is Math’s worst subject in and out of school.</p><p>Math shares her feelings about Bobby Blair’s teasing with her BFF Maddox who is a math whiz. The girls are together so often most people refer to them as one unit Math’n’Maddox. Maddox has a knack for helping Math understand puzzling math concepts by breaking them down using everyday language and relating them to real-world experiences.</p><p>This interactive book for elementary aged readers tells how Maddox with the help of soccer practice lunch items and a school magic show assists Math with grasping the fractional concept of a quarter. When all is said and done Math feels so confident in her ability to determine a quarter of a whole or a set she feels like a true mathematician. Or as Maddox jokes a mathemagician.</p><p>An added bonus parent/teacher page provides learning activity ideas to both encourage and enhance student learning.</p>
