Synopsis
Take a look around--at home, on the street, at the railway station, wherever. How many numbers do you see? Quite a lot, right?
It may not seem so at first glance, but there are numbers all around us. You can probably read them by now, maybe even count them. But do you know what is behind these numbers? Do you know what they tell us? Numbers aren't only about maths and counting, how much there is, telling the time, and how much things cost. They do much, much more . . . Come with us as we open a door to a somewhat different world of numbers . . .
Synopsis
An original concept where math is
explained on real life situations showing the practical usage of numbers in our
everyday lives.
Math is usually considered a demanding, boring
or even a scary subject. But numbers are all around us and we use them and math
constantly without even realizing it. Various usage of numbers in different
environments is presented in 17 chapters and the book ends with a double-spread
where kids can try out their newly gained knowledge.
The aim of this book is to show math as
a fun and useful subject that can be comprehensible and that helps us in many
ways on a daily basis.
