"This truly dizzying book adds up to be a story of mathematical genius! Mrs. Fibonacci's sequence of events leaves her students spinning as they begin to see everything as a math problem!
Math Curse is amazing book that brings math from the sometimes abstract world into everyday real life for students. As the students see everything from breakfast cereal to english class as a mathematical problem they being to think like mathematicians which in the end cures them of their math curse. The mixed media illustrations add to the slightly terror-full feel of the book, which many of us with math anxiety can personally relate to. I think this book is a great addition to any math classroom particularly for struggling young mathematicians."
"The day after her teacher announces, "You know, you can think of almost everything as a math problem," the narrator is afflicted with a "math curse" that affects how she views every facet of her day, everything seeming to be a problem. Many of the questions she asks herself are entirely logical, some are far-fetched extrapolations. It also includes silly nonsense story problems to be solved. Just like the fun filled text, the wonderful collage illustrations really make the reader think deep. This book is a fantastic hook into the adventures of math."
"Math is everywhere in this book about a little girl who takes her teacher's words too seriously. This book could be used as an introduction to a math classroom for older kids, and once they learn the content of the books, they could go through and solve the problems!"
"This is a good book to get children interested in math problems(grades 3-5 probably). However the book is very lengthy and kind of overwhelming if read entirely at once. If it was broken down and the kids did some of the problems in class it would be more fun to read."
