Description
Book Introduction
“Why do we learn math?” “We can live without learning differentiation and integration, right?” If you ask a teacher, the answer is obvious.
“Don’t ask such useless questions and just memorize the formulas.” Children who cannot find a purpose or meaning in studying like this end up drifting in the sea of mathematics and end up becoming math dropouts (people who give up on math).
As early as the fourth grade of elementary school, students begin to feel frustrated and say, "I just can't understand math," and by the second year of middle school, about half of all students have become math dropouts.
As the translator said, Sora kindly shows us through the counseling process how necessary mathematics (thinking mathematically) is in our daily lives.
The mathematical knowledge used to solve the problem is neither particularly special nor difficult.
The contents of middle and high school math textbooks, such as prime numbers, factorization, root formula, prisoner's dilemma, and expected value, are appropriately connected, making it easy and fun to read.

“But what kind of store is a math store?”
Haruka asked again, feeling like she would just nod her head by herself forever if left alone.
I deliberately stayed in the classroom because I wanted to ask that in the first place.
Any other time, I would be on my way home, chatting happily with Maki.
“I asked nicely.”
Sora said that and then proudly puffed out her chest.
The glasses sparkled in the slanted afternoon sunlight.
I need to go home right away after hearing this.
I need to shake off my worries and relax at home.
Haruka lifted her hips slightly, preparing to go straight out.
“The Math Store is like a counseling center that uses the power of mathematics to solve everyone’s problems.”
No, I don't know anymore.
Haruka, who was struggling to get up, sat back down.
“Counseling? There’s a counselor at school.”
“There is.
But there are also many problems that counselors cannot solve.
The teacher basically relies on psychology to provide counseling.
“Mathematics is needed to solve problems that counseling teachers cannot address.” ---p.

“Everyone, are you having any trouble?”
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a voice came from the stand.
The tense air suddenly loosened.
The male and female students who had been glaring at each other all turned towards the stands.
Who the hell are you? You're talking to me at a time like this, without even reading the mood.
At that time, Haruka's mind was empty.
The intruder was wearing a winter uniform and a hawk's visor, even though it was a warm, sunny May day.
Plus, he wore big black-rimmed glasses.
He has a small build and his hair is neatly cut short.
And he even had a blue school bag on his left shoulder.
The boy said this without changing his expression.
“Maybe I can help.”
Sora, the boy who loved math, was standing there.
“Sora, why are you here?”
“I came out on a business trip because no customers came.”
business trip?
Haruka managed to speak, but she still didn't understand the situation.
Sora always reads books in the classroom during lunch time.
No, it's not just lunchtime.
As far as Haruka knows, this boy spends all day reading without leaving his desk.
Why did Sora, who was like that, come out to the playground at this time, why today of all days?
“It is also the role of a mathematician to stop fights.”
Haruka asked again, feeling like she would just nod her head by herself forever if left alone.

Publisher's Review
- No more math focused on memorization and problem solving!
The '2014 Seoul International Congress of Mathematicians', where mathematical geniuses from around the world will gather, will be held on August 13th.
This competition focuses on helping children and the general public understand the value of mathematics in their daily lives and its industrial applications, and on making mathematics easier and more enjoyable.
Mathematics is closely connected to our daily lives, including big data, stock statistics, cryptography, and computer programs.
This competition has also brought attention to mathematics education.
This is because, although the math skills of our children, who placed 7th in this year's International Mathematical Olympiad, are among the best in the world, they are still at the bottom in terms of interest.
Now is the time to move beyond math education that focuses on memorization and problem solving and find books that allow us to enjoy math in a lighter and less burdensome way.
This is why I'm so excited about the publication of "Welcome to the Math Store," which explores the intersection of mathematics and the everyday lives of middle school students.
- It's so much fun, why give up on math?
“Why do you learn math?” “You can live without learning differentiation and integration, right?” If you ask your teacher, the answer is obvious.
“Don’t ask such useless questions and just memorize the formulas.” Children who cannot find a purpose or meaning in studying like this end up drifting in the sea of mathematics and end up becoming math dropouts (people who give up on math).
As early as the fourth grade of elementary school, students begin to feel frustrated and say, "I can't understand math at all." By the second year of middle school, about half of all students have become math dropouts.
The National Association of Mathematics Teachers stated that the reason for recommending the book was that watching Sora, the main character of the book, solve her friends' everyday problems with math will help readers shake off their doubts about why everyone needs to learn math.
Also, as the translator said, Sora kindly shows us through the counseling process how necessary mathematics (thinking mathematically) is in our daily lives.
The mathematical knowledge used to solve the problem is neither particularly special nor difficult.
The content of middle and high school math textbooks, such as prime numbers, factorization, root formula, prisoner's dilemma, and expected value, is appropriately connected, making it easy and fun to read.
Math Shop Opens! Leave everything to us!
One day, a mysterious boy named Sora transfers to Haruka, who is dizzy just by looking at her math textbook.
Sora tells her classmates, “My dream is to save the world with math.”
A few days later, Sora opens a puzzle shop called 'Math Shop' in the classroom.
In the words of store manager Sora, the Math Shop is "a counseling center that uses the power of mathematics to solve everyone's problems." But can math really help solve the ordinary concerns of an ordinary middle school student? Haruka, who was half-doubting, ends up working at the Math Shop. The two of them, willing to go on business trips and send consultations via text message, quickly resolve their friends' concerns.
However, a desperate crisis comes to the math store that was on a roll.
The most difficult problem that even the math genius Sora could not solve has appeared.
It is the story of a male student who is troubled by not knowing what love is.
What answer will the math store give the boy?
