Learning With a Playful Touch

General information

 How to Become a Singing Turtle Author Note: We publish supplemental math eBooks for K-12 and beyond Our Mission We aim to create a stress-free, math learning zone for every student, especially for those struggling with math phobia, language barriers or learning differences. For too many people, k-12 and beyond, studying math triggers confusion and anxiety. Our products address the pressing needs of struggling math students, giving them the tools and confidence they need to succeed. We like to spice up our products with a little humor and a little playfulness, so students have fun as they learn. What We're Looking For (We don't expect your book to contain every criterion!) Conversational Language — we try to stay away from textbook jargon that's overly dry, obscure or abstract. A sense of humor and/or a playful tone Multi-sensory approaches — illustrations, cartoons, charts, graphs, hands on activities, songs, games (We look for games that help students learn and explore concepts rather than just reinforcing concepts through rote practice.) Practice problems with answers included, or other means of evaluation. Analogies or stories that relate everyday experiences to math concepts. To get a sense of the kind of books we're looking for, please review sample chapters of the Algebra Survival Guide and Card Game Roundup posted on this site.
