Parents and educators can feel 'stuck' when teaching double-digit addition. Mate and Rix Escape Boredom is a fictional math-based picture book with lovable characters to engage a child's imagination. Kids will gain math confidence and achieve more than studying the standard math curriculum alone.

• This fictional story teaches math through lovable characters and energetic illustrations. It will engage even the most reluctant learner.
• The illustrations and visual models are a non-threatening way to teach multi-digit addition with regrouping.
• Literature and mathematics can foster literacy and mathematical understanding - saving time and increasing comprehension.

Research has shown the use of story picture books in mathematics teaching and learning can help foster a positive attitude toward mathematics learning in children (Yang et al., 2013).

For decades, students have been taught one standard procedure for addition with regrouping - carry the one. But there is an easier, more efficient, and proven way to perform multi-digit addition - the partial-sums addition algorithm. This is the algorithm Mate and Rix demonstrate in the book.

Jolie and Frans bring humor and friendship to a math concept a child must master.
