Math is a fundamental part of STEM education. I mean, it is in the name. And it is one subject that kids sometimes struggle to fully comprehend. One of the common strategies for helping students is to incorporate math in daily activities at home<\/a>. And including it with reading is an extra bonus!<\/p>\n

On this page, I have included many (many!) different books that could be useful for kids of all ages. I’ve added some categories where I think it makes sense based on the types of books I’ve read with my daughter (currently age 7).<\/p>\n

I plan for this list to continue growing, so while it may be comprehensive (i.e., every math-related book available), I hope to keep adding useful books as they are released or as I discover them.<\/p>\n
