A story about inclusion, diversity, and the power of math to help one boy with autism thrive among his peers.
Juan claps his hands to get his Jitters out. They make his tummyswoosh andswirl. His Jitters happen when there are too many people, too much noise, or too many changes to his day. Juan doesn't like surprises.
Tomorrow there is an athletic event planned at school, which makes Juan very nervous. But his teacher has the perfect solution: math--Juan's favorite subject! Counting, sorting, and matching help Juan calm his Jitters. By making math part of the day's athletic games, and by appointing Juan the official judge, his teacher can make sure that Juan will have fun and feel included. The class is calling it the Mathletic Games!
