Paradoxes and Problems to Intrigue Your Students One equals zero! Every number is greater than itself! All triangles are isosceles! Surprised? Welcome to the world of One Equals Zero and Other Mathematical Surprises. In this book of blackline activity masters, all men are bald, mistakes are lucky, and teachers can never spring surprise tests on their students! The paradoxes and problems in each One Equals Zero activity will perplex your students, arouse their curiosity, and challenge their intellect. Each counterintuitive result, false analogy, and answer that defies expectation will encourage students to look at familiar mathematical situations in a new light. By solving the paradoxes, your students will come to better understand both the possibilities and the limitations of mathematics.
