📚 Thanksgiving Sale: ALL Print Books Discounted! 📚

Thanks in many languages

November is the traditional month of thanksgiving, at least here in the U.S. The harvest is in, and we have holidays just around the corner. It’s a great time to take stock of our blessings and practice gratitude.

I’m thankful for YOU! 😍 And for everyone who reads my books, blog, newsletter, etc., or backs my Kickstarter campaigns, supports my Patreon, or whatever way you choose to share the Playful Math adventure.

But especially, for those of you who cut out the middleman and buy direct through my store or on Kickstarter.

How It Happened

I was updating my business bookkeeping last weekend (How do I get so far behind?!), and I noticed that my direct-to-you sales this year have blown far past my sales through the normal online retailers.

Wow!

So I decided it was time for a Thank-You sale.

I can’t mark down my print books very often, because the cost of printing and shipping lurks like a monster behind the scenes, eager to take a bite out of every purchase. There’s nothing I can do about those fixed expenses, and they keep going up.

But this feels like a month for celebration, so here we go:

ALL PRINT BOOKS—paperback, hardcover, and spiral bound—are included in the “I’m Thankful for You” Sale. A 10% discount applies automatically at checkout, no discount code required.

SHOP NOW

This would be a great time to grab a book for someone on your holiday gift list—and treat yourself to something new, too.

With my thanks!

FAQ: Can I Use Your Books as a Math Curriculum?

Father helping girl with math homework

I recently listened to you on Cindy Rollins’ podcast, and I was captivated by your perspective on math. It was exciting, freeing, and wonder-filled. I would absolutely love to be able to teach in the ways you described.

    We use early-elementary Saxon Math right now, which is thorough, but has SO MUCH to do that I’ve always struggled to do it all. Then I feel like I’m missing things, and I never know quite what is important. And yet, the actual lessons move so slowly that my kids get bored with the repetition.

      I use a published curriculum because I have no idea of an appropriate scope and sequence, or similar flow of learning. With your playful approach to math, how do I know where to start, and what to do each day?

        Do you have a suggested order to approach your books to have a full math approach? A sort of curriculum, per se, using your books.

        [For those who missed my chat with Cindy Rollins about a Charlotte Mason approach to math, you can listen to it here.]
