I'm changing it up today. This isn't your traditional picture book, but still plenty of fun!
CAVERN OF CLUES by David Glover is a mystery wrapped in a
puzzle for young adventurers 8-12 years of age.
Armed only with a map and basic
math skills, readers must negotiate their way from one challenge to another in
their quest to discover the buried treasure of the fearsome pirate Black Beard.
Solve each puzzle correctly, and the
reader moves forward through the story.
Make a mistake, and the reader will find an explanation of what probably
went wrong before being sent back to try again.
This is one in the Math Quest series of books designed to
encourage and develop math skills in an entertaining format. Colorful
illustrations paired with a lively text draws the reader into the story. A
glossary of Calculation Words explains terms and demonstrates methods to
provide support for readers on a variety of topics from addition to
percentages.
Not every reader will become a math whiz, but they will
discover that math can be fun even when it's also a challenge which is a great
confidence booster for reluctant mathematicians.
