5.0 out of 5 stars The Fly on the Ceiling is a CLASSIC Myth!!, April 1, 1999
By Frank Murphy (Warrington, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This easy reader combines history, laughs and math. Teaching the Cartesian Coordinate System, this book lends itself to great classroom teaching and learning. Try having your kids or students play "Battleship" after reading!!Powerful illustrations too!Bravo!I bought a class set for my classroom!

5.0 out of 5 stars A difficult classroom - One quiet moment, March 10, 2007
AS a new teacher in 6th grade mathematics classrooms with wildly varying ability levels, I look for varied ways to present materials. Some of the children don't know how many minutes are in an hour, some are ready for algebra now. This book is a great quick read to introduce the coordinate plane. The kids who are struggling are grateful for a moment to catch their collective breaths and learn math at the same time. The kids who are breezing by appreciate the humor. It may have been written for a much younger audience, but it is clever enough to hold the attention of 12 year olds.

2.0 out of 5 stars I think (that many book-worthy truths about Descartes exist) therefore I am (wondering why the author chooses to speculate)
Which of the following statements are true:
a) René Descartes invented the Cartesian coordinate system to track the movements of a fly on the wall. Read more
