The Grapes of Math by Greg Tang, illustrated by Mary Briggs

Tang was tutoring math in his daughter’s class when he noticed something interesting about the dominoes they were using. Each white dot had a pencil mark on it, which meant the children had been counting them one at a time.

His method teaches both computational and problem-solving skills, and is so fun and challenging that children forget they are learning math!
