The series “Into Math with Imagination” is written for elementary school. The books presents mathematical problems to children through fantasies and tales rather than boring numbers, rules, and formulas; the math problems are embedded into stories. Some questions require critical thinking and analytic faculties, while others require the readers to use their intuition or sense of spatiality. There is a section at the back of the book that provides the reader with illustrated solutions and answers to each question. It does not matter if a child can solve a problem or not. What matters is the intellectual effort and passionate desire to find clues. When a natural curiosity is awakened the child will be able to learn how to solve the problem from the illustrated solution at the back of the book or with minimal help from an educator. The illustrations, story, and math questions appeal to all types of learning styles. Teachers can give students one chapter a day for homework and guide them toward the correct solution. Parents can discuss with their child what he or she thinks about a situation, the question, and the way the problem could be solved. An educator should lead the student to the answer by providing diagrams and little clues until the child is able to find the answer. This is an educational process that contributes tremendously to the development of a child’s intellectual abilities.

"Into Math with imagination" is a collection of non-standard math problems that:

  • Challenges the brain from early childhood
  • Awakens the natural curiosity of young minds
  • Trains children to think logically
  • Entertains and explains different problem-solving methods at the same time
  • Proves that math can be fun and fascinating

As a result, the child will train their ability to think and learn new problem solving methods.

Just keep in mind: "Into Math with imagiantion "series teaches kids to think mathematically. Curriculum Math they will learn by themselves.

  • Logic Land teaches how to solve non-standard arithmetic questions by applying different thinking methods.
