Looking for some fun math books?
|
I just found out from the LivingMath loop
I'm on that Bookcloseouts.com has several living math books on sale
right now. We just finished the last set of Math Start
readers I bought at the beginning of the year so I thought this
would be a good time to replenish our supply of Math reading books. I bought nine books for just over $50 (including tax, handling and shipping). I saved more money than I spent (all but one book was 50% off, one was 60%). A little math on the Math books. :-) Here's the titles I ordered: Pigs Will Be Pigs, Pigs on the Move, Pigs in the Pantry, Pigs in the Corner and Pigs on the Ball (all by Amy Axelrod) - stories about a pig family that focus on different aspects of math. Arithme-Tickle and Scien-Trickery (J. Patrick Lewis) - math (and science) puzzlers, riddles and rhymes. Millions to Measure (David M. Schwartz) - we read How Much is a Million by this author and loved it. This is book focuses on measurement and its history. Mathematickles (Betsy Franco) - math poems all focused on the seasons. If you decide to order, please use the link to Bookcloseouts.com on the LivingMath site. Using the link helps support the site - spend some time there and you'll see it's a much deserving site. I also highly recommend the yahoo group - a great source of information and encouragement. Off to wait for the UPS man. :-) |
