Math where Black kids are the heroes. Every problem in this workbook stars a Black child — saving for sneakers, helping grandma cook, planting tea gardens, writing affirmations, selling lemonade. Meet Lonyah, Tamiyah, Royalty, Mikael, Sky, Ryan, DJ, and Infinity — the family inside this book.
Inside, your child learns:
• Counting, place value, and number patterns • Addition and subtraction with carrying and borrowing • Money, time, shapes, and measurement • Times tables (2, 3, 4, 5, 10) • Fractions, arrays, and word problems
Every concept opens with a HOW-TO walkthrough. Every page leads with an AFFIRMATION. Every answer is in the back.
For the kids who keep hearing "you're not a math kid." This book is the proof you ALWAYS were.
Tiffany Lawrence was born in San Francisco, came up in the Bayview, and spent forty-five years in the city before moving elsewhere in sunny California. She is a mother and a brand-new author who is still finding her way in the book world.
She writes the books she wishes somebody had handed her. They are warm, plain-spoken guides to herbal tea, healing kitchens, credit, boundaries, a first home, and the small everyday habits that add up to a softer life. There's no shame in them, no shortcuts, and no talking down to anybody. She isn't a doctor or a financial advisor. She's a woman who did the reading, did the work in her own kitchen, and wants to pass along what she learned.
When she isn't writing, she's usually doing her daughter's hair or brewing a pot of something good.
You can find all of her books on her Amazon author page.
