Reading it again & again,

This review is from: 101 Things Everyone Should Know About Math (Paperback)
Purchased for my 5th grader, who read it cover to cover after receiving it, and then both parents read it. The topics are interesting/captivating, explaining how some everyday situations can be clarified with mathematics and uses math to solve some curious questions. I like how the examples are taken from so many different aspects of life. Beautifully demonstrates the pervasiveness, practicality, and usefulness of math. Connects topics learned in math class to real life, and introduces other concepts that few math teachers would know how to discuss.
We keep picking it up to re-read during TV commercials, in waiting rooms, etc. The Q/A format lends itself well to browsing and short periods of reading. Of course, the title is marketing; a more accurate title might be '101 Interesting Math Questions Answered', but that is not as compelling.

I thought this book would be a good companion to the curriculum I use at school. It's not. It's just a dust collector.
