Hi Yafa,

In case you are still looking for suggestions, here are two from a discussion 
group at the Math Forum.

From Krishna:
I came across a page called mathstories.com developed by a father who
wanted to make math more fun for his daughter. Try if u can locate it.
i have not visited it for a while.
Good luck
krishna

From Suz:
I did not think of it at the time, but the older generation of Open
Court Real Math books included thinking stories which might help, if
you can find them-- the stories themselves may be available from the
publishers.
