Even the most math-phobic kids will be able to see the beauty of numbers in this mathemagically inclined issue of CRICKET!

Help Solly as he prepares for his bar mitzvah, impress your friends with number tricks, and meet groundbreaking mathematical genius Srinivasa Ramanujan.
Plus, enjoy book recommendations from CRICKET readers, solve a mathtastic “Crossbird” puzzle, and laugh at the antics of Cricket and Ladybug! Packed with fascinating stories and articles, thought-provoking poetry, and gorgeous artwork, everything here adds up to one fabulous issue of CRICKET!
