The Numbers Dance A Counting Comedy

Josephine Nobisso, Dasha Ziborova

Twirling and whirling, zigging and zagging, numerals dance across the pages, enticing children to play with

numbers and develop a better understanding of numeric values in this fun and informative comic approach. Three

groups of numerals make mightily concerted attempts to maintain the quirks of their distinct personalities in the

face of persistent peer pressure. The irascible 1, 2, 3, and 4, though frail and wiry, would like to impose their

ballroom dance style on the robust 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. 5 and 6 cannot help reverting to raucous jazz dancing,

no matter how hard they sportingly try to conform, and 7–10 don't see the point of being anything but what

they truly are—western line dancers. Scuffles, rumbles, roundups, and coercions ensue until 1–4 have their way

and 5–10 "go back to dancing like they want to, again!" The book's rousing, impeccably metered rhymes provide

the cadence of each dance style, and the spare accompanying art lends a clean energy to the numerals'

challenge to accept each other as they are.

Engineering the City How Infrastructure Works

Matthys Levy, Richard Panchyk

How does a city obtain water, gas, and electricity? Where do these services come from? How are they transported? The answer is infrastructure, or the inner, and sometimes invisible, workings of the city. Roads, railroads, bridges, telephone wires, and power lines are visible elements of the infrastructure; sewers, plumbing pipes, wires, tunnels, cables, and sometimes rails are usually buried underground or hidden behind walls. Engineering the City tells the fascinating story of infrastructure as it developed through history along with the growth of cities. Experiments, games, and construction diagrams show how these structures are built, how they work, and how they affect the environment of the city and the land outside it.

Doing Simple Math in Your Head W.J. Howard

Almost all adults suffer a little math anxiety, especially when it comes to everyday problems they think they should be able to figure out in their heads. Want to figure the six percent sales tax on a $34.50 item? A 15 percent tip for a $13.75 check? The carpeting needed for a 12½-by-17-foot room? No one learns how to do these mental calculations in school, where the emphasis is on paper-and-pencil techniques. With no math background required and no long list of rules to memorize, this book teaches average adults how to simplify their math problems, provides ample real-life practice problems and solutions, and gives grown-ups the necessary background in basic arithmetic to handle everyday problems quickly.

Summary

W. J. Howard is a mathematician who specializes in making technical information understandable to the general reader.

Teaching Mathematics in Primary Schools (2nd Edition) Shelley Dole, Robyn Jorgensen

Teaching Mathematics in Primary Schools moves beyond traditional lock-step approaches to teaching mathematics to emphasize how students can learn to think mathematically in the new times of globalization and a technology-rich society. Based on current international research, the book focuses on learning outcomes and the general principles that underlie educational practices rather than any specific curriculum. Current approaches to mathematics education are explained and critiqued, and insights into why some students have difficulties with mathematics are provided. Teachers are shown how to encourage their students to develop deep learning in mathematics, and to relate mathematics to the rest of the curriculum. The authors firstly examine the philosophy behind mathematics and its impact on curriculum design, the history of learning outcomes, and theories on how students learn mathematics. They then present the key areas of mathematics teaching in detail: number, chance and data, measurement, space, and algebra. In each area, the emphasis is on problemsolving. Finally, they discuss pr...

The Verbal Math Lesson Book 1 Step-by-Step Math Without Pencil or Paper

Michael Levin, Charan Langton

Everyone thinks kids hate math. But the truth is, kids don’t hate math—they hate worksheets! Writing down

equations takes fine motor skills that young children haven't yet developed, making the process of learning math

difficult and tedious. Math done mentally, or verbal math, makes math fun. Children see math problems as a

game and a challenge. In the second edition of this pioneering educational bestseller, handwriting is removed

from math problems to help children cement fundamental mathematical skills so that they may solve problems

without having to do any writing at all. Developed as a supplement to traditional math education, the lesson is

completely comprehensive, step-by-step, and leaves no area undone.

The first book of the series introduces children to the basic concept of adding and subtracting, and works its

way up to math problems involving numbers with double digits. The book is meant for children between the ages

of 5 and 7.
