The Solvers Book #2: The Shrinking Setback

Fractions? Simple. Decimals? No problem! Evil villains? Bring 'em on! Thanks to the Solvers, learning math has never been this fun!

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

In this graphic novel series, a crew of crime-fighting kid superheroes teach readers aged 8 and up foundational maths skills, such as fractions and decimals, as they battle their evil nemesis, Null Void. All maths concepts are presented with fully illustrated step-by-step instructions and tons of superhero-themed visual examples.

When The Solvers accidentally drink a shrinking potion, the pint-sized superheroes must learn all about fractions and decimals to mix an antidote and stop supervillain Null Void from taking over the city! Throughout the action-packed narrative, clear, step-by-step instructions and illustrated, superhero-themed examples introduce readers to fractions and decimals and then teach how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide them, in a super easy-to-understand way.

Full of helpful maths instruction that aligns with national maths standardsβ€”and epic superhero actionβ€”the second instalment of this graphic learning series is perfect for the reader who loves maths, the reader who hates maths, the reader who needs a refresher, and the superhero enthusiast. Written by a seasoned comics artist and vetted by a maths teacher, this is a brand-new way to get your child excited about maths!
