cdfox: My son, too! It does seem strange when both parents are math phobic like you said (we are math-aversive like you). It started off as workbooks with our son but sometimes it is math textbooks. Have you tried the Life of Fred books? They are stories of math that my son loved to read, too.

I figure that doing math workbooks in bed for math kids is like writing in a diary before bed for other kids.
