Do you want the kids in your life to enjoy math, now and over their lifetime? This book helps kids aged 7-12+ say "I like Math."
ValuesMazmatics values fun, inclusion, growth mindset, interleaved learning and challenge. We haven't included an answers page. We think kids need to struggle a little to help them learn deeply. (We do sometimes hint strongly at the answers though).
SpaceWe think kids' learning activities need more space so kids can relax in between the challenging bits.
Getting involvedThis book has black and white pages. It's not precious. Kids can have fun with it. Draw on this book. Color in some pictures. Make it yours.
Good foundationsMazmatics is an activity book and learning resource that helps to make math fun and useful for kids and early learners of all ages. It's pitched at US grade 2-5 for kids around 7-12, but we think kids and the young at heart of all ages will enjoy working on their fundamentals with this book. Who doesn't love a good poop emoji?!
Vol 1 covers addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, with some fractions included.
We all need good fundamentals before we can enjoy the next level of ideas and equations. This book is to be used alongside other math learning, not to replace it. Kids should listen to their teachers. This book gives them more chances to practise what they're already learning.
How do you get good at playing the guitar or dancing or sports? You have to practise your skills in order to improve. So if you want to get better at math and make it something you can enjoy, how are you going to get better? You got it.
We need to practise our math if we want it to be something we can do and enjoy over our lifetime.
So what's going to make practising math seem like a good idea for kids?
We think that by making things more fun and relatable, kids might actually want to practise more and more, especially if we can show how math really is useful in daily life, outside of the classroom. We're also thinking that an option to get out the old pencils and paper means this book can be used in many situations and brings things back to basics, no batteries required.
Mazmatics, for home play, not homework.
