Max & Mia Math Adventures is a delightful story-driven math book for children ages 6–9 that transforms everyday math concepts into exciting adventures, mysteries, and challenges.
Instead of drills or worksheets, children learn math naturally through engaging stories where Max and Mia solve real-life problems using numbers, logic, patterns, and teamwork. Each chapter blends storytelling, guided math thinking, and hands-on practice, making learning feel fun, meaningful, and stress-free.
This book helps young learners see math not as a subject to fear—but as a tool they can use confidently in daily life.
Unlike traditional math workbooks, this book uses a two-part story format that mirrors real-world problem solving:
Part 1: The Adventure or Mystery
Children are introduced to a relatable situation—planning a picnic, solving a missing toy mystery, managing money, racing against time, or building a fort. Math is embedded naturally into the story.
Part 2: Solving It with Math
Max and Mia break the problem down step by step using math strategies. Kids see how thinking happens—not just the final answer.
Each chapter ends with:
Reflection through Max or Mia’s Math Diary
