There's number fun waiting everywhere--it just takes a math detective, armed with these really cool, colorfully illustrated activities, to find it. Budding mathematicians can start the search by going on a cereal count and estimating how many pieces are in the bowl; staying on the lookout for shapes; or even becoming a "human clock." Measure your family and find out who has the smallest head or the biggest fist. Find lucky pennies with your birth year on them, play calculator or dice games, and keep a tally of all the things that happen in your house. Surprise your friends by proving that it is possible to walk right through a piece of paper. Ratios and measurements, probability, units of time and distance, powers of two, and simple geometry have never been so entertaining.

Math Detectives for ALL Ages,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Math Detectives: Finding Fun in Numbers (Paperback)
I am a 6th grade teacher, as well as, an adjunct teacher at the university level in the area of mathematics. I was looking for a book to use in my classroom, as well as recommend to my future teachers. Math Detectives is a perfect fit for any classroom. The projects and activities in this book can be adapted for any grade level K-6 and teach children number sense that is effective in all areas of mathematics. My 6th graders especially liked "Double the Folds", "Quick Reactions" and "The Biggest Fist". Each of these activities lend themselves to graphing and interactive extension activities. Great resource!
