Mad for Math by BARUZZI / CHIARA Pdf

This series aims to encourage a positive attitude towards maths and numbers through a play-based learning approach. For each theme there is both an activity book and a game box, which can be purchased and used independently. The activity book is intended for use by children on their own, while the game box will enable them to challenge one or more of their friends. Each of the activity books tell a story, intended to stimulate the child's curiosity and motivation. The mathematical topics are introduced gradually and intuitively. The game box has the same style and contents as the corresponding activity book, but can be used completely independently of the book. The box also includes an instruction booklet and notes for parents and teachers. AGES: 8 + AUTHOR: Linda Bertola is a linguistic and learning facilitator, specialising in special needs education.

The Book of Perfectly Perilous Math by Sean Connolly Pdf

Math rocks! At least it does in the gifted hands of Sean Connolly, who blends middle school math with fantasy to create an exciting adventure in problem-solving. These word problems are perilous, do-or-die scenarios of blood-sucking vampires (How many months would it take a single vampire to completely take over a town of 500,000 people?), or a rowboat of 5 shipwrecked sailors with a single barrel of freshwater (How much can they drink, and for how long, before they go mad from thirst???). Each problem requires readers to dig deep into the tools they’re learning in school to figure out how to survive. Kids will love solving these problems. Sean Connolly knows how to make tough subjects exciting and he brings that same intuitive understanding of what inspires and challenges kids’ curiosity to the 24 problems in The Book of Perfectly Perilous Math. These problems are as fun to read as they are challenging to solve. They test readers on fractions, algebra, geometry, probability, expressions and equations, and more. Use geometry to fill in for the ship’s navigator and make it safely to the New World. Escape an evil Duke’s executioner by picking the right door—probability will save your neck.

The Mad Math Manual by Ahmad W. Chamoun Pdf

After studying and teaching math and science over the years I realized that many good opportunities for learning and teaching important and essential things were missing from the resources that were available. Included in this book are many exercises, techniques and insights that strengthen a learner’s mathematical and logical abilities which are simply not to be found anywhere else. Also included are things which I have learned from different, disparate places that, for the student’s convenience, have all been gathered into one place and which I attempted to explain in simpler terms than what is currently available. Afterall, it is hard enough to learn these concepts let alone have to shift through all of the data to find what really pertains to one’s study. Some of the material presented are things which I myself found to be the most confusing. In this regard I hope that the manual can be a great resource for students trying to learn more about math and science as well as the workings of nature. Even though it is unlikely a reader will be able to understand all of the material presented on their own and without the presence of a teacher, having another resource in which the material and concepts are presented in a unique and simpler way is highly useful. Generally, when people learn about math and science, they are usually not satisfied by the answer that their teacher or textbook has to give on why nature settled on a certain constant or equation. It’s mind boggling to me how many people fail to acknowledge the relatedness of many physical constants as well as the logic behind some of the greatest discoveries, and in effect are missing out on a lot of the beauty behind science and the workings of nature.

Math with Bad Drawings by Ben Orlin Pdf

A hilarious reeducation in mathematics-full of joy, jokes, and stick figures-that sheds light on the countless practical and wonderful ways that math structures and shapes our world. In Math With Bad Drawings, Ben Orlin reveals to us what math actually is; its myriad uses, its strange symbols, and the wild leaps of logic and faith that define the usually impenetrable work of the mathematician. Truth and knowledge come in multiple forms: colorful drawings, encouraging jokes, and the stories and insights of an empathetic teacher who believes that math should belong to everyone. Orlin shows us how to think like a mathematician by teaching us a brand-new game of tic-tac-toe, how to understand an economic crises by rolling a pair of dice, and the mathematical headache that ensues when attempting to build a spherical Death Star. Every discussion in the book is illustrated with Orlin's trademark "bad drawings," which convey his message and insights with perfect pitch and clarity. With 24 chapters covering topics from the electoral college to human genetics to the reasons not to trust statistics, Math with Bad Drawings is a life-changing book for the math-estranged and math-enamored alike.

Bedtime Math: A Fun Excuse to Stay Up Late by Laura Overdeck Pdf

Our mission: to make math a fun part of kids' everyday lives. We all know it's wonderful to read bedtime stories to kids, but what about doing math? Many generations of Americans are uncomfortable with math and numbers, and too often we hear the phrase, "I'm just not good at math!" For decades, this attitude has trickled down from parents to their kids, and we now have a culture that finds math dry, intimidating, and just not cool. Bedtime Math wants to change all that. Inside this book, families will find fun, mischief-making math problems to tackle—math that isn't just kid-friendly, but actually kid-appealing. With over 100 math riddles on topics from jalapeños and submarines to roller coasters and flamingos, this book bursts with math that looks nothing like school. And with three different levels of challenge (wee ones, little kids, and big kids), there's something for everyone. We can make numbers fun, and change the world, one Bedtime Math puzzle at a time.
