I thought I would share some new living math books that we just discovered. The first is Great Estimationsand the other is A million. My children loved them! Anyone else have any more good finds? I found these at our library.

We *love* both of those books! The funny thing A Million Dots is that I showed it to two moms and both of my older kids. All 5 of us thought that we had a good grasp of "a million" ....until we "read" the book! A million is a whole lot!   

I have a whole list of good finds from the Math Talk I gave at the conference in August. I've been meaning to post it for a while... It's kinda long.

ooooooh. THanks Janette. There seems to be so many more living math books now than in just the last few years.

Lovely!

We are enjoying a Maths related TV show - suitable for high school but makes the link between higher maths and real life applications - Numbers

Oh Leonie! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that show! We are planning another Numbers marathon tonight. My dh and I even do the lessons that go along the series.

Off to check out those books!

They are fun, aren't they? The kids and I have done some of them, too.

We read Anno's Mysterious Multiplying Jar this week and really enjoyed that.

I wish our library had more of these kind of books, I have totally backed off of math for now with my middle guy and wish I could use just living books and then follow up activities for our "curriculum"--but can't exactly buy them myself!
