Reveals the mysteries of math, from fractions and measurements to pi and probability, including why zero is so useful; how to tell time on Earth and other planets; and how music, math, and space, are all connected. - Baker & Taylor
An accessible guide to the mysteries of mathematics for middle school students covers everything from fractions and pi to measurements and probability while offering related insights into how music and space have mathematical properties. - Penguin PutnamMath, so often a mystery to children, is simply explained in I Wish I Knew That Math. With clear, commonsense explanations of mathematical concepts and fun and interesting applications, this book is a great way to increase your understanding of math. The concepts addressed include, but are certainly not limited to:
- Basic operations â addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
- The math behind money
- The connections between math and music
- Irrational numbers â Why did Pythagoras have one of his followers killed just for talking about the square root of 2?
- The value of zero
- Angles â from acute, all the way to reflexive
- Coordinates and the Cartesian plane
- Probability â What is the likelihood of being struck by lightning?
- Logic â induction, deduction and Sherlock Holmes
- Computers and algorithms
- Code breaking â from ancient Rome to super computers
