Maths Is Not Hot: A Comedic Journey To Escape Maths At School

By Benjamin Anafi-De-Khems

Book Overview

Maths Is Not Hot is the wildly funny, brutally honest, and unexpectedly heartwarming story of one boy's epic struggle against the most fearsome villain in education: mathematics.

Meet Jahman a teenager armed with sarcasm, street smarts, and zero mathematical talent who launches a personal rebellion against numbers, fractions, and the dreaded SOH CAH TOA. Surrounded by a family that fails gloriously at basic arithmetic, Jahman sets out on a desperate mission: find a subject (any subject ) completely free of maths. Spoiler alert: it doesn't go well.

Through hilarious family dynamics, laugh-out-loud classroom moments, and sharp social commentary, author and educator Benjamin Anarfi-De-Khems pulls back the curtain on the UK maths education system, and why so many students are quietly screaming "maths is not hot " This isn't a textbook. It's not a self-help guide. It's a story. A comedy. A conversation. And a revolution in disguise.

From side-splitting rants about trigonometry to sobering reflections on dyscalculia and maths anxiety, Maths Is Not Hot explores the global struggle to make maths meaningful, relevant, and, dare we say, fun. Whether you're a student drowning in decimals, a teacher trying to stay sane, or a parent wondering why today's homework looks like rocket science, this book is for you.

If you've ever felt personally attacked by algebra, confused by percentages, or betrayed by a pie chart, this is your redemption story. Bold, witty, and refreshingly human, Maths Is Not Hot just might make you rethink everything you thought you knew about maths.
