Here's an adventure with math puzzles woven into an exciting story that will hold students' attention! It's a fun activity that teachers and parents can use to help students master solving word problems while covering Common Core Standards.
Written at a 6th - 7th grade reading level and presented in small, one-page bites, every page challenges the reader with a math word problem which must be reasoned through and solved correctly. The problems, covering general math, include all the operations of arithmetic, place value, fractions, decimals, percents, exponents, integers, scientific notation, measurement conversions, and geometry.
The story, written and illustrated by Jim Bennett, chronicles the adventures of the wizard, Galimedes and his two helpers (a gnome and an elf) who must recover the lost scrolls of time and seasons. They find themselves in many perilous situations as they battle a phantom knight, a giant, the Minotaur, an evil magician, and a witch. Galimedes even travels to a parallel world!
