Information for Parents and Teachers

Suitable for students at U.S. grade 6 math level and above, The Math King of Dallas is a short story extension to the Harvard- and MIT-supported math learning aid, Yamie Chess School Assistant, recommended by School Library Journal and developed by experienced math teachers with decades of classroom teaching experience.

Through an exciting cartoon algebra adventure for struggling-to-gifted learners, communicated by professional math teachers in clear and concise language, students learn the fundamentals of geometry.

Kids are taught how to construct, handle and evaluate linear algebraic equations and their properties and lay a firm foundation of the basic rules of algebra including the addition and multiplication properties of equality and laws of exponents.

The Math King of Dallas also provides an opportunity to explore complementary and supplementary angles.

The integrated chess puzzle is adapted from a well-known chess game that took place one evening in Paris, France in 1858 at the famous Italian Opera House (during a live performance of composer Vincenzo Bellini's opera Norma) between American chess player, Paul Morphy, and the Duke of Brunswick and Count Isouard.
