Camping with Mo! the Math Mole: Calculating Camping Adventures

Camping with Mo! The Math Mole: Calculating Camping Adventures introduces early elementary learners ages 4-7 to multiplication through storytelling and interactive activities. As Mo prepares for a camping trip, everyday moments-packing supplies, sharing snacks, and solving simple challenges-become opportunities to explore repeated addition, skip counting, patterns, and problem-solving. Designed to blend storytime with hands-on learning, the book encourages curiosity, confidence, and foundational math fluency through meaningful play. Part of the Roots & Figs children's fiction series designed to support early-advanced learners through story-based math.
