A picture book that makes one day into a series of story problems. Will I be at the bus stop on time? How many M&M's would it take to measure the Mississippi River? Can the birthday cupcakes be divided evenly in the classroom? Bold illustrations accompany each page.

I loved this book, I had read Scieszka's book the Stinky Cheese Man and was again impressed with his work. This is a great way to make math fun and yet at the same time commiserate with students who don't like math and yet it pulls them in and gets their mind thinking about math. ( )

This cute story follows a little boy who sees Math everywhere. This would be a great one to use with Elementary or Middle School Aged children (or even a fun intro for high school students!). This book has incredible illustrations and encourages children to see Math in their every day life. This would be a great project to have students start noticing the Math in their world. Finally, Scieszka's work tackles many students' fear of Math in a funny way. ( )

This book should be used when discussing math with a child to show that its not scary. Math Curse is a book that understand that math is scary even though its used every where. There are math questions through out the book to show that math is every where but at the end it shows that math is not that scary and that a student can break the math curse. The pictures on the pages are amazing, so even if a child is not scared of math, they will enjoy looking at the pictures. ( )

This book is all about math. The teacher in the story encourages all of his students to look at eveything from a math perspective. Throughout the whole book, everything has to do with numbers and math. I think this book would get children thinking differently about math and math in everyday life!
