Denise Gaskins just posted a new math activity on her blog. No purchase necessary!
But if you want to make life easier, you can buy our printable activity guide, The Gerrymander Project: Math in the World of Politics, which includes a prepared city map with more detailed instructions, answers, and journaling prompts.
And save money! We’ve extended the 10% discount code TBLTOP10 (good on all the ebooks and printable activities at our online store) through to Election Day, 3 November 2020.
The next book in Denise Gaskins’s popular Math You Can Play series, Prealgebra & Geometry: Math Games for Middle School, is scheduled for release to regular bookstores in February, 2021.
Because no publisher wants to send a new book into the world during such hectic, unsettled times as a big election, the winter holidays, or during inauguration season.
But preorder links are beginning to appear at several of the major online booksellers. More stores will join them, as the information filters down through their website systems.
The paperback will also be up for preorder, whenever the sites catch that update.
And remember: If you don’t favor a particular bookstore, you can buy the early-release ebook edition right now at our Tabletop Academy Press webstore — and get a 10% discount if you order before 15 October.
Did you know that authors earn 50% more royalties when you buy direct from the publisher?
Well, it depends on their publishing company, but that’s how we do it here at Tabletop Academy Press. When you choose to cut out the middleman, we pass the savings along.
You get a bonus, too: When you buy direct from our online store, you get DRM-free ebook files in your choice of format — including printable pdf files not available in bookstores. And if you need help, our BookFunnel service will be more than happy to walk you through the steps of transferring ebook files to your phone or device.

“When I’m asked about resources for math games, Denise Gaskins is one of the first names I mention. In this book, she’s sharing games and activities for prealgebra and geometry, and it’s genuinely good stuff, touching on relevant and sometimes technical topics in a consistently fun and engaging way … a can’t-miss resource.”
—Dan Finkel, creator of the Prime Climb math board game
“I love everything about this book – seriously! I feel challenged and encouraged to improve my teaching methods, as well as my own understanding of math concepts. If I could go back in time, I would play a lot more games and spend a lot more time on the understanding and why behind math than on workbooks.”
—Carla Roesler, homeschooling parent
“The directions are clear, it is easy for parents to pick up and use, yet it gets to the heart of mathematical thinking in a fun, engaging way.”
—Casey Maupin, homeschooling parent
“The games are easy to put into practice (even for a mom of 4 with 2 toddlers) and something my daughter would participate in willingly or even enjoy (which is saying a lot for a teen who doesn’t always appreciate a challenge). Clever, helpful, and creative in ways I’d never come up with.”
—Casey Baldwin, homeschooling parent
One of the most common questions we get from parents who want to help their children enjoy math is, “Where do we start?”
Our favorite answer: “Play games!”
And in this time of pandemic crisis, it’s even more important for families to play together. So we’ve made Denise Gaskins’s ebook Let’s Play Math Sampler: 10 Family-Favorite Games for Learning Math Through Play free for the duration.
When you’re stuck at home and getting bored, it’s a great time to play math with your kids.
Math games meet children each at their own level. The child who sits at the head of the class can solidify skills. The child who lags behind grade level can build fluency and gain confidence.
And both will learn something even more important: that hard mental effort can be fun.
The Let’s Play Math Sampler contains short excerpts from our most popular books, including a preview of two games from Denise’s work-in-progress Prealgebra & Geometry Games.

“A captivating fantasy story with a well-thought-out plot…”
— Wayne S. Walker, Home School Book Review
“There are some obvious protagonists and some obvious villains, but Gaskins creates a nice ambiguity around several of the key characters. The plot itself is interesting and engaging with multiple levels of motivation that drive it along. Mainly, this is a group-of-friends quest story that is fun and well told.”
— Phanwadee, online reader review
“I enjoyed the book and I am absolutely amazed at how such a young author can write so well. I definitely see her going far in her writing career, and I can’t wait to see what stories she publishes next.”
— Tia, Homeschool Literature.com

Book One: Banished
Haunted by dreams. On a quest for answers.
Christopher Fredrico loved the quiet life of a scholar-in-training. Plenty of spare time to spend with his friends. But the night Crown Prince Tyler came to dinner, everything changed.
Falsely accused of stealing a magical artifact and banished under threat of death, Chris leaves the only home he knows.
But as he and his friends travel towards the coast, they find a riddle that may save a kingdom — or cost them their lives.
Book Two: Hunted
She tried to warn them. They wouldn’t listen.
As a child, Terrin of Xell barely escaped a spirit from the Dark Forest. She knows better than to rely on magic. But with her schoolmate Chris accused of a magical crime he didn’t commit, she couldn’t let him face banishment alone.
So Terrin gets caught up in Chris’s quest to recover an ancient relic, with only magic to guide them.
Naturally, everything goes wrong.
What lurks in the shadows, hunting Terrin and her friends? Or did the magic itself turn against them?
Book Three: Betrayed
How can a knight fight magic?
Trained by the greatest knight in North Raec, Sir Arnold Fredrico dreamed of valiant deeds. Save the damsel. Serve the king.
Dreams change. Now the land teeters at the brink of war. As a fugitive with a price on his head, Arnold struggles to protect his friends.
But their enemy wields more power than the young knight can imagine.
Book Four: Revealed
A gift she never wanted. A curse she can’t escape.
Alone in the dark, Nora of Yorc feels the dungeon walls pressing in. Even worse, the duke’s sorcery weaves itself around her, unseen and deadly. But as the spell tightens, shy, fragile Nora breaks — and something new takes her place.
Or something old beyond memory.
Nora joined this quest to help her friends. But can she stop herself before the wildness within destroys them all?
