A Math Camp-In Literature Book
We need your help! We are excited to partner with the Columbus Foundation on this exciting Better Together Project. Better Together projects are opportunities to improve our community, together! The funds from this project will support the final step-illustrating the book! Your donation will support teachers and families with another resource to engage children in mathematics.
Join Graham, Odo and Ursus as they hike the mathematical trail, prompting readers to think more deeply about story problems, important mathematical concepts and how to think like a mathematician! S'MORE SOLUTIONS is our first TRAIL TALES book (even though mischievous Morris likes to change the title). The book uses several great problems that children can solve while reading and hiking along the mathematical trail. They can also download a camp badge when they finish the tasks in the book!

Book Concept
Check out our mock up of the cover and the first two pages below! These are just our initial ideas and we know our illustrator will knock this out of the park for us with his creativity. He has already helped us with our two board games and we can't wait for this one to be in classrooms!
