The Math Doesn’t Add Up for Young Max, Who Has Dyscalculia.

Figure Eight is an insightful book for young readers that tells the story of why Max can’t do math as easily as his friends.

At 11 years old, Max is struggling in school because the numbers he sees in class get all jumbled up in his head.

He explains: “An eighty-one might look like an eighteen to me like they were switched at birth. I’m sure you get it by now. I am numerically challenged. I have dyscalculia, a disorder that (they tell me) means I have a problem grasping numbers. Sometimes they slip from my mind like water from a sieve, and somehow, I am just left with a gaping hole.”

Max’s middle school friends meet to help each other solve their individual problems. Eric has dyslexia, which makes it hard for him to read or interpret words because the letters get mixed up in his brain. It’s the same thing for Max, except for him it’s with numbers.

This realistic book shows what caring people can do to help each other through their challenges.
