WHAT’S MATH GOT TO DO WITH FARMING? By Kelli LaRosh.  

Kelli LaRosh was born and raised on a dairy farm 11 miles west of Osborne, Kansas. As a junior in High School she enlisted in the Army Reserves and has since served one year overseas in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Kelli is now a senior at Sterling College, majoring in mathematics with an emphasis in education.  Her first book for children tells the story of how Kenton, indifferent to why he must excel at math, is taught by his father just how important math is in running a farm. 

“Kenton hates math and wonders why he has to sit through such boring classes. He just knows he will never need math to be a farmer. After he receives a bad grade on his last math test his teacher suggests that Kenton have a talk with his dad to see if math really is important in farming. He takes the suggestion, and much to his surprise, he becomes fascinated with what his dad has to say.” – from What’s Math Got to Do With Farming?
