The story's cast of characters includes Lostis Marbles, the mayor of Mathopolis, who loves numbers but usually gets them all mixed up . . . his assistant Trusty Dusty, who helps the mayor keep track of his math mix-ups . . . Mongrel Smith, the town's stray dog . . . and math superheroes, who use different methods to solve all kinds of problems. The Superheroes are Elexus Estimator, who is quick at estimating volume, height, weight, and the like . . . and Maverick Measurer, who values accuracy above all else when making math calculations and getting answers. A mysterious character shows up in the town of Mathopolis, and the many problems that he brings with him can be solved by applying math principles. The math Superheroes show young readers exactly how. Students will be entertained by the crazy episodes even as they encounter one math word problem after another. Meanwhile.
