I just moved from the US overseas, and enrolled my six year old in school. I was thinking of helping start a Math Club for his school, but was wondering if anyone has pointers for good material / curriculum. Ideally, it's suitable for K-5, and is both fun and educational.
The Raymond Smullyan puzzle books might work.<p>I think the first part of The Lady or the Tiger might be fun.<p>To Mock A Mockingbird might work too, but the initial learning curve might be too steep. The Island of Knights and Knaves part could work.<p>Satan, Cantor and Infinity has some good parts, too.
Joel David Hamkins has Graph Theory for eight year olds - <a href="https://jdh.hamkins.org/math-for-eight-year-olds/" rel="nofollow">https://jdh.hamkins.org/math-for-eight-year-olds/</a><p>Not a lot but it's a start. You could do the Seven Bridges of Koenigsberg after that one.<p>The game of Sprouts can be good.<p>The older PBS cartoon series Cyber Chase has math in every episode, from geometry to some game theory. I will grant that some episodes are clunky.<p>You can use various Star Wars characters to do different number bases - Yoda has 6 fingers, base 6. Jar Jar Binks has eight. One of Ben Tens manifestations has 4 arms each with 4 fingers for base 16
