Everyone seems to have heard of girl math these days. Those thrifty ways girls add up money to justify their purchases. It’s a skill I’m proud to say I’ve accomplished over the years. However, I’ve got to say, my girl math skills pale in comparison to my book math skills. If you’re an avid book reader like me, I bet you’ve used book math in the past too, and these examples will feel very relatable. If you’re not sure what book math is, then let me present the following book math examples for your entertainment.
