Mathematics: A Human Endeavor

I loved the grade-school math textbook series by Harold Jacobs: - Mathematics: A Human Endeavor - Elementary Algebra They are peppered with cartoons (especially B.C.) and have lots of real-world motivation. I definitely recommend them for your kids if you have the choice.

Your child is probably beyond this but it's one of my favorite pre-calculus books Mathematics, a human endeavor by Harold R. Jacobs https://openlibrary.org/books/OL5699810M/Mathematics_a_human... (https://openlibrary.org/books/OL5699810M/Mathematics_a_human_endeavor)

For the younger, less-motivated child: "Mathematics: A Human Endeavor" ... so probably not good for this kid, but always worth mentioning in the context of awesome math books.
