There’s just over 24 hours left to get Word Problems from Literature and the Word Problems Student Workbook on Kickstarter.
Don’t miss out!
The Kickstarter campaign is roaring along. We hit our funding goal and plenty more, paying for two extra chapters (one on decimals and the other on percents, rates, and proportional reasoning) plus a special section on making the transition to algebra.
That means Word Problems from Literature will truly be a thorough guide to mastering problem-solving in elementary and middle school math.
And we’ve got plenty of goodies besides the book:
- The Case of the Mysterious Story Problem: A short treatise on how to solve math problems, written directly to the student by the master of deduction, Sherlock Holmes. Includes the printable poster, “Be a Math Detective” in full color and ink-saving black & white.
- Audio Commentary (and annotated pdf): An exclusive mp3 recording to play on your phone or other device, with additional math tips and behind-the-scenes tidbits.
- Make Your Child (or Yourself) a Character: Your child can be a character in a prealgebra story problem. Only 3 slots remaining: captive prince/princess (or the dragon), fantasy warrior king/queen, or a starship captain (or the ship’s engineer).
- Math You Can Play: All my math games, journaling resources, and other playful math books are available as add-on purchases in ebook or paperback format.
So many great ways to play math with your kids!
Get Yours Before Time Runs Out
And as a bonus, anyone who pledges in these final days will get an extra printable activity guide: Diffy Inception. It’s a great way to get kids playing with fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals.
