About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts viewing math as a chore or feels discouraged by the confusing vocabulary of fractions and percentages. Instead of dry drills, David A. Adler transforms abstract concepts into a vibrant trip to the county fair. It is the perfect tool for a child who is ready to graduate from basic counting to understanding how different numerical values relate to one another in the real world. As you navigate the fair together, your child will see math applied to everything from batting averages to slices of pie. This approach reduces math anxiety by replacing pressure with a sense of play and curiosity. Written for the 7 to 11 age range, it serves as both a helpful introduction for younger elementary students and a clear refresher for older children who need to see the logic behind decimal place values and conversions.
