__**Murderous Maths**__

Some students with Asperger’s display a interest and are seen as gifted in the subject of mathematics (Hsu-Min, C., & Yueh-Hsien, L. 2007). My cousin is one of these students and he shared with me his enjoyment in the series of books called Murderous Maths. The Murderous Maths series makes reading enjoyable and purposeful for those students who LOVE maths (of all ages) and are not so keen on reading.

The author Kjartan Poskitt explores topics like algebra, trigonometry and probability just to name a few. The information is presented as clearly as possible, with lots of humor and illustrations to engage and maintain interest.

The Murderious Maths website ( [] ) offers many benefits to both students and teachers. I highly recommend checking it out before you write up your next maths unit, so you can include activities that really hook the students in.
