The Best Math Books for Kids
This blog uses affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.
I admit…math is not my favorite thing. I try to keep an upbeat attitude around my kids, but I still struggle to understand math concepts or to work with numbers. I think if I had better math experiences as a child, I would enjoy it more now. So, one thing I have done with my kids is to incorporate math into other activities we enjoy, with hands on projects like art activities, keeping score in games, counting money, and reading math themed books aloud.
This week, I’m sharing some of our favorite math books for kids that are sure to make math more enjoyable for any age. If you have any recommendations for me, please leave your suggestions in the comments. Be sure to scroll down and link up one of your posts so I can pay you a visit!
Happy counting!

For visual learners and kids who just don’t like math, a picture book can take the sting off an un-favorite lesson.
It sure can, Michele. I try to have a good attitude about math with my kids, but I was one of those kids who felt its sting every time! 🙂
I love finding new math books for kids!
Thanks so much, Lisa! Have a wonderful week! 🙂
Oooooh I love the idea of the Reese’s Pieces one– candy makes anything better, even math!
Yes, it sure does, Mia! 🙂
My middle son is using Everything You Need to Ace Math now and is really enjoying it. Somehow we missed that Reese’s Pieces book when we were doing our candy math series but my boys sure loved the Hershey, Skittle and M & M ones!
Candy always makes math more fun! Thanks for linking up with us, Mother of 3! 🙂
