Synopsis

This Book Thinks You’re a Maths Genius explores seven key areas of maths: geometry, space and volume, statistics, numbers and number patterns, codes and ciphers and the concept of infinity. Each spread centres on an open-ended question that introduces a key mathematical concept and suggests activities that engage the child in a fun and entertaining way. Activities include predicting the trajectory of a Malteser; building loo roll skyscrapers; mind-reading magic tricks; devising your own spy code; and working out the physical correlations between your dad and Usain Bolt. The end of the book includes a section of paper-based crafts including the kit to make a cardboard football and a data log for family quirks.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

This book thinks you're a maths genius. So chuck away your calculator and get stuck in! Inside you'll do all sorts of mathematical stuff, but not like anything you've done in your maths classes in school. You'll break codes, draw cool patterns, hunt for objects and get wet feet. There are even portable maths lab pages for you to cut out, fold, and play games with. By the end, you'll be an official maths genius - and you won't even have added 2 plus 2.
