Book Overview

Written by an award-winning author, this book is filled with non-computational maths with puzzle-like challenges, mazes and games. With pencil and paper, scissors and tape, readers can: investigate the insides and outsides of objects, expand simple patterns into complex patterns by playing with Lusona (based on an African game where patterns are drawn on the ground); and explore the Mobius strip, a single-sided loop that transforms when you cut it. The book also features multicultural elements, such as one section which teaches children an African mathematics drawing method. This description may be from another edition of this product.
