Mad for Math Grade 3-5: The Wizard School

Help kids go MAD FOR MATH! 
This series offers a fun approach to learning. Through storytelling and entertaining activities like drawing, kids will begin to grasp basic mathematical principles and gain enthusiasm about the world of numbers.

Come along with the wizard's apprentice as he guides you through a very special castle. There you’ll discover powerful potions, secret passages, mazes, and more. But it seems the apprentice needs a little help remembering his magic formulas. Using a little addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and other math skills, children 8 to 10 can save the day!
