The Monsters of Math series:
The Monsters of Math is a series of children’s books in which a group of friends work through everyday situations and learn how math skills help to inform their decisions. The books are not intended to be read in any specific order. The math skills and stories are intended to support parents, teachers, and students to understand the importance of applying math skills within everyday decisions.
The Monsters of Math Plan a Fishing Derby is the second book in the series. In this story, we meet Cedric’s grandparents, Nanna and Pa who help me plan a fishing derby. Along the way, Cedric and his friends consider how a fishing derby supports a stronger community, how to be happy for others’ success and that it is not necessary to win a prize to enjoy the event.
