When was the last time you read a math book for pleasure and ended up laughing out loud and wanting more? That's Life of Fred.
Through a story about the life of Fred, a child genius with a pointy nose, Stanley teaches math concepts in an engaging manner. In this book, Fred gets mistakenly pressed into army boot camp, among other adventures. He also learns all of Algebra I. Every couple pages, it is "Your Turn to Play", where the author includes problems for the reader to do. "Cities" provide review and testing. If you're looking for a refreshing, unique, low-stress, student-directed, thorough math curriculum, try Life of Fred.
