5.0 out of 5 stars
A simple presentation of complex concepts.,
By Karen Gerbrandt (Winnipeg, MB CAN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Socrates and the Three Pigs (Hardcover)
Anno does an excellent job of introducing statistical combinations and permutation in a story that is suited to both young and senior students. Anno's color coding clearly shows the difference between permutations and combinations. The visuals are very helpful as supplementary material for intoducing these math concepts or as an aid to struggling students. In the story, Socrates' fat wife wants to be fed, but Socrates is lazy. He sits with his friend Plato and tries to calculate his best move. The pages are filled with pictures of the 3 pigs and the pigs' houses as these two thinkers consider all the possibilities.
