My Project

Math can seem abstract. Students who are uncomfortable with math computation may start hating mathematics altogether. These 39 stories are an enjoyable reading experience that explains math themes. The stories are about mathematicians, inventors, and scientists; topics and themes that explain how mathematical formulas came to be and how they work. They are beautifully illustrated nonfiction books about genius people that love math and science.

This list of excellent math books will spark a student’s curiosity, no matter what his or her interests might be.

Introducing math with these books takes out some of the black and white stress of solving a math problem. These books are an entertaining vehicle with math as the focal point.
