What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a secular, educational book focused entirely on mathematical concepts. It does not contain any sensitive topics.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a 6 to 9-year-old who is a strong visual learner and finds traditional, number-heavy worksheets intimidating or boring. This book is perfect for the child who learns best by seeing and doing, who loves infographics, puzzles, and understanding how things work. It's also a great resource for a curious kid who wants to understand the practical application of math outside of the classroom.
Parent Prep
No advance preparation is needed. This book can be opened to any page and explored. A parent might get the most out of it by using it as a jumping-off point for real-world activities, like pointing out shapes from the geometry section on a walk or using the measurement section while baking together. It's an excellent tool for co-exploration. A parent reaches for this book after hearing their child say, "I hate math," or "I'm just bad at this." They may have witnessed tears over homework, a general resistance to a math-related task, or a sense of defeated resignation. The parent is looking for a way to reignite their child's interest and build their confidence in a pressure-free environment.
