Life Of Fred
Math

Life of Fred Math books are a great way to do math from about 5th grade through 12th grade, even into adulthood!

My kids love to pick these books up and read about Fred and his very interesting adventures. Each math book is written like a story, with the math concepts woven into one day in the life of Fred.

The thing I like best about these books is that they teach math in a very practical style. The problems that are included are actually ones that you might encounter in your everyday life!

I got through Calculus in my math "career" but never really understood why I was doing a lot of what I had to do. Reading these books made me understand many of these concepts.

I also like that the author throws in a lot of other "random" knowledge. It's kind of like a unit study concept for math.

On top of all those good things, Life of Fred books are also very affordable!
