We are happy to see you! Discover algebra through a coastal adventure on Vancouver Island. The Ants’ Treasure on Vancouver Island: Where the Paths Meet invites children and families in Nuu-chah-nulth communities to explore mathematics through story, pictures, and discovery. On a Pacific shoreline of pebbles, driftwood, and ocean waves, Mia and Alex follow two mysterious ant paths. With Mr. Numberwise as their guide, they discover how equations describe paths—and how their meeting point can reveal a treasure. Wooden staircases make slope visible. A treasure map introduces coordinates. Red and blue paths help children understand graphs and intersections. Young learners explore: • linear equations • slope and starting values • coordinates and graphing • intersections of straight lines The book combines colorful illustrations, step-by-step explanations, solved exercises, and practice worksheets. Its visual approach helps children connect mathematical symbols with ideas they can see. Designed mainly for ages 10–14, it can be enjoyed at home, in classrooms, or with an adult supporting a younger learner. An English-language mathematics adventure in a contemporary Nuu-chah-nulth setting. Follow the paths. Find their meeting point. Discover the mathematics behind the treasure.
