Bookroo's summary

Struggling with math anxiety? Dive into a world where numbers meet fun! Explore how math shapes music, powers spacecraft, and perfects cookies. Can math become your new favorite subject?

From the publisher

Children’s Choice Award winner Bethany Barton applies her signature humor to the scariest subject of all- math! Do multiplication tables give you hives? Do you break out in a sweat when you see more than a few numbers hanging out together? Then I’m Trying to Love Math is for you! In her signature hilarious style, Bethany Barton introduces readers to the things (and people) that use math in amazing ways – like music, and spacecraft, and even baking cookies! This isn’t a how-to math book, it’s a way to think differently about math as a necessary and cool part of our lives!
