Children's Literature -
If you want to convince your intermediate grade child that there's more to math than long division, this is the book for you. While the explanation of some of the more sophisticated concepts presented here may leave your young mathematician scratching his or her head, the breadth of topics makes up for the loss. There are activities for finding math in nature, art, music, dance, poetry, gamesmanship, magic, and espionage. There is enough diversity here to insure that at least some activities will appeal to even the most die-hard math adversary.Book Details
