Do your students freak out when the subject of Math arises? Is it too hard? Do they struggle? Then this is the book for you. The book I'm Trying to Love Math is about an alien who comes from space to tell students all about the ways Math is fun. the narrator of the book is unconvinced and the alien has to work at convincing the students and narrator how math is so fun. By the end of the book, the alien has convinced us that math is connected to so many things that we love. Things that include; cooking, nature, music, games, and navigation. I loved this book specifically because it is chalked full of interesting and cool facts about math and the many ways that we use it in our everyday life. I think this book is great for all ages but It would be really great for 4-7 graders because some of the connections might be a little advanced for the younger grades. ( )

This book is a great book for children who are not very fond of math. This book is about an alien who encounters a kid who does not like math. In the book the author gives many everyday scenarios that involve math. Towards the end of the book the kid starts to look at math a little different, but is still not the child'd favorite. The alien helps change the kids perspective about math. ( )

This book tackles the common feeling that people don't like math. The book then goes and shows where math applies in your everyday life from baking, to money, to space exploration, to music. This book would be great in a middle level classroom to help kids not be scared or apprehensive about math.

This book is amazing for a middle level math classroom. The book addresses the common idea that people don't like math, but it then goes onto prove why people use math for things they can enjoy.

The story is an easy to read book to elementary or middle school students at the beginning of the school year in a math class.
