More Math Puzzles and Patterns for Kids
September 6th, 2009
|
Move beyond the norm in your math classroom and challenge students to think critically with More Math Puzzles and Patterns for Kids, a new companion book to the popular Math Puzzles and Patterns for Kids. This book, perfect for children grades 2-4, contains more of students’ favorite puzzles and patterns, as well as a few new ones for students to explore. All of the mathematical activities in this book were chosen for their important role in mathematics’ history.
Like its predecessor, this book explores the hottest concepts in puzzle solving—math logic puzzles—while teaching students how to use reasoning to solve some of math’s biggest conundrums: real-life patterns and puzzles such as:
- Fibonacci’s sequence,
- Sudoku puzzles,
- tangrams,
- Pascal’s triangle, and
- magic squares.
Students will sharpen their math skills while they learn the basic premises behind each challenging puzzle and then use the skills they have learned to solve multiple versions of each puzzle.
