Category Description for Mad For Math

Aptly self-described as “so much fun kids don’t realize they’re learning,” these math books are full of creative characters and rich settings. From escaping mazes to rescuing sea animals, books present storylines that students participate in by solving problems for the characters. As students engage in the story, they also engage in practicing multiplication, geometry, logical puzzles, and more.
