Books That Make Math More Enjoyable

Most math books read dry and boring, so when I discovered these at the library, we used them to enrich our math class. Look for them at your local library, used bookstore, or Amazon.
MathStart Series by Stuart J. Murphy.  Titles include A Fair Bear Share (regrouping), Lemonade for Sale (bar graphs), A Pair of Socks (matching),Betcha (estimating), and Get Up and Go (timelines).
Jerry Pallotta wrote much on math. Some of his books include Twizzlers Percentages BookThe Hershey's Kisses Addition BookThe Grapes of MathApple Fractions, and The Hershey's Fractions Book.
Janice Van Cleave books belong in every homeschool home. For math, she wrote  Janice VanCleave's Math for Every Kid: Easy Activities that Make Learning Math Fun.
Hopefully, you will find some of these fine books near you!

  1. I'm going to make a note of these. Polar Bear Math is a cute one about fractions.
