Written by a certified middle school math teacher, "Math Is Nuts" books read like entertaining children's stories, rather than educational texts.

SADMEP tells her friend PEMDAS that he’s easy to find because “step by step, whatever you do, I undo.” When he subtracts leaves, she adds them back to the pile, when he multiplies acorns, she divides them evenly between their friends.

PEMDAS and SADMEP practice multiplication with the number seven. They harvest raspberries, carrots, and other fruits and vegetables from their spring garden to share with mice, rabbits, and squirrels in their community.

A young squirrel named PEMDAS decides math is a silly game to play. But once he gets lost in the woods, a new friend shows him it can be fun to follow the steps back home.
