Will you help Patrick find the treasure and win the infamous pirate ship, The Pickled Pearl?


Patrick Pirate is a lowly cabin boy. Grandpa Pirate is the most fearsome pirate in all the seven seas. When Grandpa Pirate is ready to retire, he gives Patrick a quest to prove that he's ready to captain the infamous pirate ship, the Pickled Pearl.


How will Patrick complete the quest? By using math, that's how!
The Pirate Math series shows characters using math in practical (and piratical) ways.


These are exciting stories that teach kids math concepts in the coolest way possible!


The math skill this book teaches is collecting and analyzing data.


So, all aboard mateys! Get ready for a fun and educational adventure!


--PLEASE NOTE: This series is intended to teach children to confront problems in mathematical ways. This book contrasts the results of making a plan (conducting a survey and using the data it provides to find someone) with just winging it (wandering around and looking for them.) Collecting and analyzing data to draw conclusions is an important math skill, which is taught in many math text books. However, If you are looking for a book that includes more traditional arithmetic skills, you may want to skip this one and get Making a Sail for a Pirate Ship or Pirate Provisions instead. You don't need to read this book to understand those.
