I have read this book to my students for years and they love it. It's a new way to do math without the numbers. It's the story of a boy that is a math wizard, but he hates PE. He makes everything into a math problem including this PE problem. There doesn't seem to be anyway to solve this math problem. Read this book to find out how to solve this PE problem.

A math wiz views the world in the form of math equations: baby + bottle = happy baby; baby - bottle = crying baby; what's a math wiz to do when Math Wiz + PE = misery?
As a math teacher, I get excited about books that show creative problem solving techniques. It's a good read for anyone who doesn't fit in--it might even give the reader ideas for how to solve their own "fitting-in" challenges.

We loved this book. It is very sweet. My 7 year old 2nd grader can relate... we both enjoyed this book! Looking forward to reading other books by this author.
