Help Students Master Problem Solving in Elementary to Middle School Math

You can help prevent math anxiety by giving your children the mental tools they need to conquer math problems.

Young children expect to look at a word problem and instantly see the answer. But as they get older, their textbook math problems also grow in difficulty, so this solution-by-intuitive-leap becomes impossible. Too often the frustrated child concludes, “I’m just not good at math.”

With practice, however, any student can learn to master word problems.

Word Problems from Literature features math puzzles for elementary and middle school students inspired by classic books such as Mr. Popper's Penguins and The Hobbit. And you'll discover how to create your own word problems from literature, using your child’s favorite story worlds.

“Even as someone who has always enjoyed algebra, I found this method really clarified for me what was going on visually and conceptually. This is a wonderful book for those who want to support their children in finding better ways to work on word problems and really understand what is going on.”
—Miranda Jubb, homeschooling parent
