Book I - Slow Maths: A story about thinking, trying, and learning from mistakes

By Ayehualem Ferede

Biruk loves maths. He's quick, he's confident, and he's sure he'll win the class, Maths Bee. But when a tricky question has more than one step, Biruk answers too fast and gets it wrong in front of everyone.

Now he has to face the hardest part: what to do after a mistake.

With a little help from his friend Hiwot and his teacher, Mrs. Hassab, Biruk discovers that being smart isn't about answering first. It's about listening all the way to the end, slowing down, and trying again. Sometimes, fast is not always clear.

A warm, gently illustrated story for ages 7- 8, Slow Math helps young readers build patience, focus, and the confidence to bounce back from mistakes. Part of The Curious Minds Series - stories that help children think, try, stumble, and grow.

Includes reflection questions for reading together at home.
