Editorial : For teachers, this book offers ready-made, thoughtfully crafted, coherent learning plans for young students who are underchallenged by grade-level and uninspiring approaches to math. For parents, the book provides a meaningful solution to the comment, "I don't have anything good to do today." For eager young thinkers, the book creates a world in which likeable characters, imagination, words, and numbers combine to create a mental playground where learning happens just for the fun of it. --Carol Ann Tomlinson, Ed.D., Curry School of Education, University of Virginia
Time-Travel Math: An Advanced Geometry Adventure for Grades 4–5 offers a fine set of insights on geometry concepts and teaches how to use geometry to tackle fun math mysteries. From using math to draw human figures with the right proportions and creating works of art to learning about perimeter from ancient Egypt, this ties in history and math for teachers interested in creating unusual, involving lea
How can we use math to draw human figures with the right proportions? Can math help us to create beautiful and enduring works of art? What can we learn from the ancient Egyptians about area and perimeter? These are some of the questions that students will ponder as they travel back in time with fictional math whizzes, Harriet and Thomas, and join Leonardo da Vinci, Dutch artist M. C. Escher, and ancient Egyptian architect Imhotep, on a quest to answer a timeless riddle: How can we solve everyday problems using math? Time-Travel Math takes an innovative approach to teaching gifted math students advanced geometry concepts by weaving an adventure-filled story with entertaining practice problems that require deep mathematical thinking. Students will engage in advanced abstract inquiry and will explore new geometry topics such as ratios, angles, regular polygons, symmetry, and area through a combination of challenging written worksheets and hands-on activities.

Let me qualify this by saying that, while I did not read this book before I took (and passed!) the PA bar exam this past February, I coincidentally altered my method of study to one that mirrors what this book suggests. She dedicates the book to trying to explain the hardships that Nick went through that so many didn't see. I loved reading Woman Up! It was really well written with so much great advice and funny stories -- things you can imagine happening to any of us. This is the best basic outline of how to use SQL that I've seen. From the seasoned Sys Admin to the newbie hacker looking for information this book is quiet interesting. Suddenly the machine goes haywire (for you gamers out there, imagine the first scene of Half-Life), destroys the walkway high above the machine (where the tourists are) and gravity does the rest.
The next part is weird, which in any PKD book world be normal, I guess. Nancy Cobb is the director of women's ministries for Christ Community Church i
