Awesum Alex: The Multiplication Problem - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Emerson is starting the year at a new school, and he has all of the usual apprehensions plus one more: he is dyslexic, and he struggles with letters and numbers “jumping around” on him. Fortunately for him, he’s been assigned to Mrs. Googol-Plex’s classroom, where he is quickly befriended by Alex and her friends, all of whom love counting (like he secretly does) and all of whom are excited to be a part of the magical classroom that is their teacher’s. This year the children are learning multiplication, and Emerson discovers that calling numbers by their place value names is a critical step in overcoming his dyslexia in math, not to mention understanding the true concepts behind mathematical reasoning.

The Awesum Alex books present math concepts to children within the context of a story about children who learn in a fun and magical classroom with a teacher who is just as excited to share what the children are discovering. The characters, brilliantly illustrated by Christopher Tice, question the procedures that are taught in the regular classroom and come to enjoy and understand the concepts that underlie mathematics. For many, the explanations of math concepts may be the means to understanding math truly for the first time.
