There’s a brand new picture book called A Hundred Billion Trillion Stars and it’s a lovely look at “big” numbers.

For our oldest she uses Math U See / Epsilon and he seems to really be enjoying that. However, he loves reading and fantasy so the Sir Cumference I think would be a great fit.

I had never heard of that one so I will pass that along to her! Hopefully we just found a new series that he and his brothers will love 🙂

We’ve also enjoyed Bedtime Math. I love that it has questions for different levels of math skills. I will definitely have to check out some more of these, especially Mathematicians Are People, Too. Thanks for sharing!

My Daughter also loved The Cat in Numberland! We have a copy and she was really into it a few years ago and read it more times than I can count (math story about infinity – pun intended!). Same time period another favorite of hers (non-math related) was The Greedy Apostrophe – like you we did not own it and I think we were the only ones to ever check it out of the library so eventually bought the book to have at our own home and let others have a shot at finding the book in the library.

As a booklover, booklist addict and former math hater who is learning to delight in math and trying to encourage my 8yo son, we’re going to try to read as many of these as possible. 🙂

I got him the boxed set and have to make him put them down to go to bed at night. http://www.amazon.com/Murderous-Math-10-Books-Slip/dp/1407131931/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1430052069&sr=8-2&keywords=murderous+maths
He also liked How to be a Math Genius http://www.amazon.com/How-Math-Genius-Mike-Goldsmith/dp/0756697964/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1430052186&sr=1-1&keywords=how+to+be+a+math+genius

Cool, Meg – I’ll check into those!

]]> By: Meg https://simplehomeschool.net/math-books/#comment-303314 http://simplehomeschl.wpengine.com/?p=37400#comment-303314 Jamie I’m loving this series. My son loves to read, but fights me about doing math so these are great suggestions! Someone already suggested family math. Not really a read aloud but that is a great series of hands on math games and activities. We also have a book called Go Figure that we found in the library but enjoyed so much we got our own copy. Recently we discovered the British collection of books called “murderous maths” by Karan Poskitt. It claims to be “maths with all the laughs added in.” There are 4 for younger kids and then a whole set for older kids. You can buy them on amazon but they ship from the uk so it’s a little slow or some for kindle. I also just got the first beast math by AoPS. My son wants nothing to do with the workbook but the “textbook” is a comic strip about monsters learning math. He loved it.
