Description
For the Math Kids, a new school means new opportunities—and new challenges!
Starting at Tyler Middle School should be an exciting time for the Math Kids. They have new teachers, new classes, new classmates, and of course, a new math club to get to know. But when it turns out that the Tyler math club president is their old rival Kenny and he's determined to keep them from competing, the Math Kids start to think maybe middle school won't be as good as they'd hoped.
There's only one option: elect a new president.
As the Math Kids try to decide who should lead the math club, another election draws Stephanie's attention. The district will be voting on school board members, and there's something fishy about the billboards that have popped up around town advertising a new slate of candidates no one's ever heard of. So, she does what the Math Kids do best, and sets out to investigate the mysterious candidates.
With both elections coming up quickly, the four friends will need to use logic and strategy to ensure the school board and the math club are in good hands after the votes are tallied.
