Chance is sure of one thing: he hates math.
Division is confusing, test days are the worst, and no matter how hard he tries, the numbers never seem to cooperate. But when his class begins learning geometry, something unexpected happens-math starts to make sense.
With encouragement from Mrs. Adams and a willingness to keep trying, Chance slowly begins to believe in himself. His grades improve, his confidence grows, and he discovers that sometimes all it takes is one caring teacher-and the courage to give something another chance.
Inspired by a true classroom experience, Just Give Math a Chance is a heartwarming story about perseverance, confidence, and the difference a teacher can make in a child's life.
Perfect for:
- Elementary classroom read-alouds
- Students who struggle with math or self-confidence
- Growth mindset and perseverance lessons
- Back-to-school and end-of-year discussions
- Math teachers, classroom teachers, parents, and school counselors
An encouraging reminder that children do not have to understand everything right away. Sometimes they simply need support, patience, and the willingness to keep trying.
