Math stories make math come alive!
Learning math ideas in context and
loving math learning are invaluable investments in
a child's sense of math, self, and the world.
Watch and subscribe to MathXplorers YouTube videos!
MathXplorers uses story-driven simulations to spark curiosity and develop mathematical thinking. Through meaningful stories, children gain confidence, reduce anxiety, and see math as a powerful tool for everyday life and for creating a better world.
Become a math storyteller!
Use the power of storytelling
to give children the joy of math learning!
Stories give purpose
to math ideas
and processes
Story elements
make math ideas
comprehensible
Achieve dual learning goals with language-rich
math applications
Make mathematical sense, and problem-solve like mathematicians
Imagine math learning
that connects with children’s
everyday life experiences and nurtures
their interest in mathematical
sense-making and reasoning!
MathXplorers taps into
children's sense of wonder,
nurtures mathematical abilities,
and inspires creativity.
Captivated by the characters and images,
young learners follow the story
eager to know
what will happen next.
As the story unfolds,
the characters get into trouble.
They need the children's help
for creative math solutions.
Math is in the story,
Math is in the images.
Math is in helping the characters!
Children are young mathematicians!
For each story,
there are math questions, activities,
big idea cards, and problems to solve
Make math learning tangible.

10 LESSONS FOR EACH PICTURE BOOK
We created lesson plans to accompany the MathXplorers storybooks.
Wekonek provides children with opportunities to explore
conceptual and logical reasoning through context-based and open-ended problem-solving.
Our storybooks are designed to celebrate diversity and grow children’s creativity.
Through simulated real-world problems, children explore, analyze, and come up with their unique strategies to model mathematically as a way to problem-solve.
Lesson activities extend and elevate the activities in the books.
These hands-on learning experiences provide students with a review of foundational math concepts aligned with the standards. Children learn how to make sense of the situations and problems in the stories by using math ideas and modeling likened to language, to express their logic and reasoning.
