Congratulations: Krista W!
Math, math concepts, numbers, estimating, measuring – do these words cause stress?
“Adventures in Mathopolis: Estimating and Measuring” coauthored by Catherine Weishopf with Karen Ferrell, and Linda Powley encourages problem solving skills for children grades 3-5. ” Adventures in Mathopolis” transforms math into a fun exercise with its humor and cartoon illustrations. As children read the story they encounter one math problem after another.
The four main characters are:
- Lostis Marbles who is the number loving mayor of Mathopolis. Unfortunately, he usually gets them mixed up until two superheroes come to his rescue.
- Elexus Estimator quickly estimates volume, height, weight and other quantities.
- Maverick Measurer who believes accuracy in math is all important.
- Acer Eraser who erases numbers in Mathopolis causes all types of problems.
My son is ½ finished reading and working through “The Adventures in Mathopolis: Estimating and Measuring” and is actually enjoying it! In addition to reinforcing math skills, he has also learned new problem solving skills. “The Adventures in Mathopolis” capitalizes on a child’s enjoyment of an adventure with superheroes. Intertwined in the adventure are applicable math lessons presented in a nonthreatening way. If your child enjoys adventure books, Mathopolis is a great way to learn math skills while having fun reading.
