Before this summer, my class has been working on some math problems using the book, Jayden’s Rescue.

The book is about 3 kids with a magic pencil and a strange mystery math-solving book. They have to free the queen, Jayden, who is being held captive by the evil king.

I recommend this book to teachers who want to encourage kids to understand that math can be fun, using this great book, Jayden’s Rescue.

I love Jayden’s Rescue because a boy named Alex HATED math but after practicing, he improved his math skills and he also learned extra math. This book motivated me not just about practicing and improving but also believing in yourself that you can do anything.

This book is about Alex who wanted to go to Camp Waconda but his parents told him that he had to improve his math grades to be able to go to Camp Waconda. One day, Alex found a pencil, but it wasn’t an ordinary pencil, it was a magical pencil that can solve any type of math equations. He used the pencil on his Monday math test and the pencil started writing all the answers. His teacher handed back the math tests and Alex received an A+. After solving many answers, the pencil gotten smaller. Soon Alex lost the pencil. Alex found a fantasy book on his shelf but there was a twist. The book was about about a princess that was being forced to marry a king but she didn’t want to so she was locked in a dungeon. To escape, Princess Jayden must go through 400 rooms, each guarded by a monster with a mathematical problem. Alex has to write the solution on a paper and than put the paper in the book and close it. The solution will pop up in the book. Once Jayden was free, she disappeared in to thin air. After solving the math questions in Jayden’s Rescue, Alex improved a lot in his math and earned his rights to go to Camp Waconda.
