The Prime-Time Burglars
Jordan and Justin are best friends and the only two kids in their class’s advanced math group. So it isn’t until Stephanie Lewis marches into their classroom that they meet someone who’s as good with numbers as they are. Their shared interest in math quickly draws them together, and the three soon form The Math Kids.
Unfortunately, life as math club kids isn’t always easy. In addition to extra homework, the three friends have two new problems. First, a string of mysterious burglaries has the whole neighborhood on edge, including their parents. Then, they manage to earn unwanted attention from Robbie, the class bully. Luckily, Jordan, Justin, and Stephanie soon learn that their new club may give them the skills they need to solve both problems.
A Sequence of Events
The Math Kids Club is back! After solving the case of the prime-time burglars, The Math Kids, Jordan, Justin, and Stephanie are ready to return to the original purpose of their club: solving math problems. And the district Math Olympics is the perfect opportunity to do just that. But before they can enter the competition, they need a fourth teammate. The Math Kids set their sights on Catherine Duchesne.
Even though Catherine has been quiet in class, she knows some really cool math tricks that are sure to help The Math Kids win the competition. But when Catherine doesn’t show up for school and Jordan, Justin, and Stephanie find out her father’s been kidnapped, the group springs into action to help their new friend.
An Unusual Pattern
The Math Kids are at it again! When their new friend, FBI Special Agent Carlson, asks them to take a look at a cryptic poem written by a dying bank robber, they know they will need all of their math skills to crack the case.
The poem isn't their only problem, though. Their favorite school janitor is fired for stealing from student lockers. The Math Kids know Old Mike would never do anything like that, but how can they prove it, especially with the new janitor watching their every move?
Jordan, Stephanie, Justin, and Catherine will need math, bravery, and a little bit of luck if they hope to solve the bank robbery case and get Old Mike his job back. Will they be able to figure out the unusual pattern in time?
An Encrypted Clue
When Stephanie Lewis finds secret writing in the margin of an old book in the library, The Math Kids have a new puzzle to solve. But first, they'll have to learn about codes and ciphers and how they can use their math skills to solve them.
As one clue leads to another, the kids are drawn into the mysterious old house that overlooks the town. Is it really haunted like some of the townspeople say? And who is the man in the long beard who keeps showing up everywhere they go?
But that's not their only problem. Unless they can find a solution, the math competition they've been training so hard for will be cancelled.
Jordan, Stephanie, Justin, and Catherine will need to use all their problem-solving skills to figure out the clues before it's too late.
An Incorrect Solution
Fifth grade could not be starting off any worse for the Math Kids. Jordan, Justin, Stephanie, and Catherine have been split up. The girls are in one class with most of the bullies, which is proving to be quite chaotic, while the boys are stuck with and their nemesis, Robbie Colson, and their new teacher, Mr. Miller, who has made it quite clear he doesn't like math. Separated like this, the kids worry this could be the end of their math club, and to complicate matters, there's something going on with Robbie. When Jordan witnesses a shouting match between Robbie and his dad after school, he begins to question the bully's history of injuries and wonders if Officer Colson might do more than yell.
People problems suddenly seem a lot more challenging than homework, but maybe with the right plan--and some math--the four Math Kids can find a way to deal with their classroom woes and make sure Robbie stays safe.
The Triangle Secret
“Your art project is going to have to wait,” Jordan said tensely. “I just got a text from Agent Carlson. He’s in trouble!”
When FBI Special Agent Carlson is kidnapped in Egypt while investigating the plane crash of Willard Howell, an eccentric billionaire inventor, Jordan and his friends spring into action. Catherine, Stephanie, Jordan, and Justin, the fifth graders who formed the Math Kids club to solve math puzzles, must unravel the clues in Howell’s mysterious will before it’s too late. If they can’t figure out the secret of the triangle in time, Howell’s money will be gone forever.
Now the Egyptians are after the Math Kids, too. In their most exciting adventure to date, the four friends will need all their math skills to save their FBI friend and find the missing money.
A Knotty Problem (October 2022)
Tensions Rise Between the Math Kids
When Stephanie finds out her soccer team has a tournament on the same day as the district math competition, an upset Justin offers her a choice: choose Math Kids or leave the club. Dismayed by his attitude, Stephanie quits and Catherine goes with her.
With their club in shambles, the future of their friendships is further threatened by the news that Justin's dad has been offered a new job and wants to move his family to St. Louis.
Jordan, Justin, Catherine, and Stephanie may face the permanent fracture of their friend group and a bleak end to their school year—unless they can come together to overcome some impossible situations.
