Math with Bad Drawings: Illuminating the Ideas That Shape Our Reality
by Ben OrlinA hilarious reeducation in mathematics-full of joy, jokes, and stick figures-that sheds light on the countless practical and wonderful ways that math structures and shapes our world. In Math With Bad Drawings, Ben Orlin reveals to us what math actually is; its myriad uses, its strange symbols, and the wild leaps of logic and faith that define the usually impenetrable work of the mathematician. Truth and knowledge come in multiple forms: colorful drawings, encouraging jokes, and the stories and insights of an empathetic teacher who believes that math should belong to everyone. Orlin shows us how to think like a mathematician by teaching us a brand-new game of tic-tac-toe, how to understand an economic crises by rolling a pair of dice, and the mathematical headache that ensues when attempting to build a spherical Death Star. Every discussion in the book is illustrated with Orlin's trademark "bad drawings," which convey his message and insights with perfect pitch and clarity. With 24 chapters covering topics from the electoral college to human genetics to the reasons not to trust statistics, Math with Bad Drawings is a life-changing book for the math-estranged and math-enamored alike.

Attractive, reproducible worksheets lead students through each topic, providing explanations, examples, and exercises to test their understanding. With mathematics as the vehicle for presenting and practicing the logical concept, students get practice in mathematical concepts and computations while building thinking skills. The end result is clearer thinking and enhanced problem-solving abilities. This unique approach is sure to be a favorite supplement to your regular math program. The attractive illustrations, clear instructions, solid content, and ease of use make this book a winner. This book is the winner of Learning Magazine's Teacher Choice award. Grades 4-8
Math-ish: Finding Creativity, Diversity, and Meaning in Mathematics
by Jo BoalerFrom Stanford professor, author of Limitless Mind, youcubed.org founder, and leading expert in the field of mathematics education Jo Boaler comes a groundbreaking guide to finding joy and understanding by adopting a diverse approach to learning math.“Every once in a while, someone revolutionizes an approach to a difficult subject and changes it forever. That is what Jo Boaler has done for math. Fresh, smart, and inclusive, Jo Boaler's strategy eschews the one-size-fits-a-few approach and instead allows math to be seen and solved by everyone. A huge achievement. Math-ish is the only math book I’ve ever enjoyed reading in my entire life. Honestly.” -Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in ChemistryMathematics is a fundamental part of life, yet every one of us has a unique relationship with learning and understanding the subject. Working with numbers may inspire confidence in our abilities or provoke anxiety and trepidation. Stanford researcher, mathematics education professor, and the leading expert on math learning Dr. Jo Boaler argues that our differences are the key to unlocking our greatest mathematics potential.In Math-ish, Boaler shares new neuroscientific research on how embracing the concept of “math-ish”—a theory of mathematics as it exists in the real world—changes the way we think about mathematics, data, and ourselves. When we can see the value of diversity among people and multi-faceted approaches to learning math, we are free to truly flourish. Utilizing the latest research on math education, Jo guides us through seven principles that can radically reframe our relationship with the subject:• The power of mindset on learning• Utilizing a visual approach to math• The impact of physical movement and communication on understanding• Understanding the value of an "ish" perspective - in mathematics and beyond• The importance of connected and flexible knowledge• New data on diverse teaching modes that work with different learning styles, not against them• The value of diversity in learning mathematics—and beyondWhen mathematics is approached more broadly, inclusively, and with a greater sense of wonder and play—when we value the different ways people see, approach, and understand it—we empower ourselves and gain a beneficial understanding of its value in our lives.

Mathability: Math in the Real World (Grades 5-8)
by Michael CainMathability gives students the experience and ability to analyze and solve real-life mathematical problems, and explain their methods for arriving at the solution. Mathability is an excellent resource for preparing students for the performance tasks of standards-based tests. The six units in this book each have 10 problems that deal with a variety of real-life situations, such as those at a construction site, on vacation, in a business, and at home. The open-ended problems let students hone their skills in geometry, probability, percentages, use of charts, algebra, number relations/operations, money, and decimals. Open-ended performance tasks have become a mainstay of standards-based testing. It is one of the tasks that most students perform at below proficiency level. Much of this low performance is due to a student's lack of experience with writing explanations of the mathematics that made it possible to solve the problem. Mathabilty presents a systematic approach that will lead students to proficiency.Within each unit, this book provides four different levels of problems. The Step-by-Step Level leads a student through the problem and provides a format for presenting their answers. The Prompted Level provides the format for presenting the solution and hints on how to solve the problem. The Independent Level allows students to solve and explain their answers on their own, and the Challenge Level problems present a venue for gifted and talented students to push their skills to a higher level.Grades 5-8

Mathe ist noch mehr: Aufgaben und Lösungen der Fürther Mathematik-Olympiade 2012–2017
by Paul Jainta Lutz Andrews Alfred Faulhaber Bertram Hell Eike Rinsdorf Christine StreibDer vorliegende Band enthält alle Probleme der 21. bis 25. Fürther Mathematik-Olympiade, getrennt nach Jahrgangsstufen und Lösungsstrategien. Die Aufgaben belegen, dass sich Problemlösen vermitteln und erlernen lässt. Zum erfolgreichen Lösen von Aufgaben gehört gar nicht so viel: Zuversicht, Konzentration und Mut. Zielloses Probieren und strenges Vorgehen sind ebenso legitime Maßnahmen. Als Zugewinn winkt ein Mix aus Strategien und taktischen Tricks. Das hat nicht selten den erfreulichen Nebeneffekt, dass Skeptiker („Wie bringe ich da Mathematik hinein?“) zu ihrer eigenen Verblüffung in manchen Alltagssituationen mathematische Zusammenhänge erkennen. Problemlösen kann durch viel Übung und Tun erlernt werden. Daher soll das Buch neugierig machen auf Knobeln, auf verschiedene Zugänge zu den Problemen – und auf Mathematik! Es richtet sich an eine breite Leserschaft, angefangen bei Schülern ab Klasse 5 bis 8, die wissbegierig sind und Neues lernen wollen, an Lehrkräfte, Eltern sowie an alle Liebhaber der Mathematik. Die Aufgaben sind erfolgreich einsetzbar in der mathematischen Förderung begabter SchülerInnen in Arbeitsgemeinschaften oder Pluskursen, können eine willkommene Abwechslung im Unterricht sein und eignen sich zum Selbststudium. Die zahlreichen Aufgaben stellen reichhaltiges Übungsmaterial für weiterführende Wettbewerbe bereit. Die Aufgabenstellungen sind in der Regel kurz und griffig wie eine Werbebotschaft, um vor allem auch jüngere SchülerInnen anzulocken.
