From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Grade 4–6—When Jeremy and Sam's school district decides to eliminate mathematics from the curriculum, most of the students and teachers are thrilled. However, Sam is devastated and takes on the Director of Education. The debate highlights Sam's knowledge of the use of mathematics in the design of buildings and bicycles, in tessellations and other art forms, in animation, in music, in patterns in nature (Fibonacci numbers), magic, etc. Interspersed with the story line are one-page biographies of Pythagoras, Archimedes, Hypatia of Alexandria, Sophie Germain, Charles Ludwig Dodgson, Srinivasa Ramanujan, and Andrew Wiles. Sidebars with Jeremy's thoughts on chaos theory, cash prizes for new prime numbers, laws of probability, and palindrome numbers add to the information. Full-color cartoons, diagrams, and photos appear throughout. Classroom teachers could use this book to introduce new concepts and relate them to everyday objects to help students understand their significance. It would supplement math sections in school and public libraries.—Ann Joslin, Fort LeBoef School District, Waterford, PA

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| I used this book as a kick off for a new Living Math approach in our homeschool. The premise of this book is that math is everywhere, so it is filled with lots of math applications that are far beyond basic arithmetic. But it's all presented at an easy to understand level.
You really could use each chapter as a jumping off point for further exploration of more math because there's plenty of fodder for going off on tangents. For example, we made our own tessellations after becoming intrigued by them in The Great Number Rumble. We also spent time researching Fibonacci numbers.
It's nice to find a book that makes math fun! This one did that for us! |
