The Our Mathematical World Series is a set of five books that are designed to demonstrate the PULSE problem-solving approach in action. PULSE stands for Pause, Understand and remember, Lay it out, Solve, and Evaluate. This is a research-based approach to solving math problems. Try following along with Pilar, Uriah, Lamar, Simone, and Eduardo as they showcase the PULSE approach to solve the math problems they encounter in their community. The books are available in both English and Spanish.
