This book makes you think about numbers by focusing on how numbers are used to measure things now and how they were used to measure things through the ages.
This book is broken up into three major sections, The first section, The Ancient World focuses on ancient civilizations and how they discovered measurements by observing things like the moon and sun for night and day, seasons, and months.
Next is the Age of Discovery which talks about specific scientists like Copernicus and Galileo and reviews their contributions to math and science.
The final section is The Modern Measuring which touches on the development and use of all modern day conveniences like electricity, sound, light, and pressure.
This is a great book for young and old alike, The pictures are great with bright, vivid colors to bring math to life, The language is easy to follow and there is not a lot to read per page, This book is fun and brings math and science to life, It is recommended to any young adults who need a refresher on the basics,
This is a great book for young and old adults, I really think it is very informative, The pictures are great with bright, vivid colors
to bring math to life, The language is easy to follow and there is not a lot to read per page, This book is fun and brings math and science to life, This book makes you think about numbers by focusing on how numbers are used to measure things now and how they were used to measure things through the ages.
When I read it I thought that none in my class would read it because it is kind of long, but as second thought I think that this would be great help for those students who love to learn new things everyday.
This is actually a really cool book, It tells about the history of how we started measuring all kinds of thingstime, angles, years, area, you name it! It would probably good for older elementary children or even middle school kids.
I found it very informative and interesting, They also have fun things like speech bubble above the people to spice the book up and make it more interesting, This book would definitely make me enjoy math more!!! Focusing on how people from ancient Egyptians to modern scientists have used numbers to measure things through the ages, "Why Pi" makes math interesting and is filled with games, puzzles, brainteasers, and fun facts.
Full color. Aimed at kidsyears old, I found this to be a great read for all ages, I had this book as bathroom reading material, which I found to be the perfect way to read the book, In this way, you could read just a page or two at a time, and then have plenty of time between readings to really think about what you had learned.
The beginning of the book was excellent talked about really interesting math history, such as how Egyptians used math to measure their fields, and who came up with different basic mathematical principles, and how they affect us, etc.
The last/or so of the book was anticlimatic it was just a discussion of the various different measurements out in the world today.
If you skip the last/, you won't miss much, The rest of it though is a great read for young and old alike, Going to use this excellent book as a model for my student projects on Pythagorean theorem and irrational number projects,
Reminds me of the hundreds of DK books I've read in science, but it's all about Pi, Super engaging for a math book, Fascinating book about how math is used in real life, starting from ancient times e, g. using angles to figure out how to measure latitude up to modern times e, g. measuring electricity. Lots of interesting and obscure facts, and some actual problems sprinkled in throughout the book, Full color pictures and diagrams keep it engaging for visual learners, This book really did make my life and to show me that math is everywhere I am and how to apply that to my life.
I think this book would be to teach why we need math, Johnny Ball is the host of Think of a Number, Think Again BBC, and Johnny Ball Reveals All ITV, His shows and videos have wonawards, including a New York International Emmy nomination, the ITV Presenter of the Year Craft Award, and a BAFTA.
