Guess what I just read. Math and Science by David A. Adler – Perimeter, Area and Volume, Mystery Math, Millions, Billions & Trillions, Magnets Push, Magnets Pull. Please find out more about each of the four “fantabulous” books in my review below.
What does a million look like? A billion? A trillion? These huge numbers are hard to visualize. Millions, Billions & Trillions by David A. Adler is a book about Math that explains quantities in terms a second-grader and third-grader can understand.
Grab your jumbo popcorn and 3-D glasses. You are invited to the premiere of a 3-D movie! The star-studded cast of monsters will help you calculate the perimeter of the set, the area of the movie screen, and the volume of your popcorn box. Learning about dimensions has never been so entertaining.
Boo! There is a mystery behind every door of the creepy haunted house. Luckily, algebra will help you solve each problem. By using simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, you’ll discover that solving math mysteries isn’t scary at all – it’s fun!
We can’t see magnetism, but it’s all around us – even the Earth is a giant Magnet! This fun and accessible book will teach you the basics of magnetism. Terms such as attraction, pole, electromagnetism, and force are clearly defined and colorfully illustrated. Hands-on activities include instructions on how to make your own magnet! You won’t be able to pull yourself away from this book on magnetism. Guess what my next Science project is going to be! 🙂
These are books about Math and Science by David A. Adler, and you can read more about Math Riddles in my post.
All the books are part of my recommendation list for Third Grade. Note that I am in Second Grade, and I love the content of these books.
Dara out.
