by Jon Sciezka

Math curse is a good book to incorporate during math lessons. It is about a girl waking up one day with a "curse" that every decision she makes is a math problem. Some of the math problems are common questions but others are silly for example, "does tuna fish + tuna fish = fourna fish?" The book shows the need for math in a fun way.
