Great academic message to young readers concerning math

“He made many friends, people his age who loved math and were really good at it too.“

I would use this book in my classroom for children who specifically love math. It's also a good book to teach children that no one is good at everything. Bonus in the fact that it's very informative in talking about prime and negative numbers.

This is a great book to promote children's interests in math while learning about the story of a young mathematician. This book includes descriptive, and informative writing along with funny moments. Such a good story for young children.

“He thought about math whatever he was doing, wherever he was.”

The Boy Who Loved Math is a good book for elementary-aged students and can teach them about a famous mathematician and his life.

The Boy Who Loved Math: The Improbable Life of Paul Erdos (2013) by Deborah Heiligman is a biography about a mathematician named Paul Erdos and his life as he grew up, and how it connected with numbers. Paul was constantly thinking about math from a young age and the book chronicles how that affected him growing up.

"He didn‘t just love math. He lived math."

Great for sparking an interest in mathematics, this book can encourage students to explore math in creative ways, like solving fun puzzles or creating their own math problems.

This biography introduces young readers to Paul Erdős, a Hungarian mathematician known for his eccentric life and groundbreaking work in mathematics. The book creatively captures his love of numbers and math.

“Because Paul Erdos was a genus-and he shared his brain. He helped people with their math problems and gave them more problems to do. Plus, he was a math matchmaker.
He introduced mathematicians all over the world to one another so they could work together”

I love how this book engages readers through the intricate storytelling and vivid illustrations. The author really makes this story an enjoyable and informative read for anyone curious about the life of a mathematical genius.

This book is a biography that dives into the extraordinary life of the renowned mathematician Paul Erdos. The book captures Erdos's passion for numbers and the unique way he approached math. This book does a great job of exploring his brilliant mind and his unconventional, nomadic lifestyle in the world of math.

#RedRoseSeptember Day 7: It was clear from the story how highly-esteemed Paul Erdos was in #mathematics circles such that friends refer to the Erdos number to talk about their points of connection with him. A fascinating picturebook biography about a man who loved #Mathematics. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-8zm

"Erdos realized that he doesnt quite fit into the world the regular way"

I think children will be interested in the animation of the pictures and how Paul Erdos runs between the pages.

I think this book would truly grab children's attention because they probably have never heard of somebody like Paul Erdos. Children will find his intellect astonishing but his common sense sort of humorous. Children will love to read how fast he can commute numbers in his brain but then was not able to butter bread until he was twenty. Fun facts in a fun way!
