    It hasn’t been that many years since a math textbook was about the only way for children to learn important math concepts and vocabulary. Today, storybooks, wordless picture books, folktales, interactive books, poetry anthologies, and chapter books take children on wonderful math discoveries. The books shown on this site introduce and reinforce the concepts of measurement, shapes, number sense and counting, fractions, problem solving, and an infinite number of other math skills! Their engaging illustrations, examples, and flashes of humor make complex math ideas easier to figure out and remember. Use these books to make math accessible to more students, inspire them with the power of math, and open doors to further study.
