About
Jousting Armadillos is the first in a pre-algebra and algebra series published by Arbor Center for Teaching. Author Linus Christian Rollman builds conceptual understanding through short explanatory passages, student-directed reflection, and problem sets that prioritize reasoning over rote computation. Follow-up volumes Crocodiles & Coconuts and Chuckles the Rocket Dog continue through algebra I topics. The series is often chosen by families who want a gentler, more discussion-oriented bridge into algebra than traditional pre-algebra texts offer.
