pickThe author says in the preface that the book should be accessible to anybody with a maths GCSE. Apparently a maths GCSE is more difficult than a maths O Level. I kept my head above water (I think) till Chapter 6 when we hit geometry, which was my downfall with school maths as well. I just skimmed Chapter 7 on estimates and approximations but re-surfaced with the FAQ in the final chapter, which was more about mathematicians than mathematics.
So this came up in an automatic recommendation box as something I might be interested in and ...
I don't know man, what are you trying to say?
I always set my reading goal low so I don‘t have to really think about meeting it. Read so many good books last year 💕
I didn‘t set a number goal this year, & for those of you who pay attention to totals, I track children‘s books & graphic novels which I know many don‘t, so subtracting those would put my total closer to 140. I‘m MOST pleased that StoryGraph tells me 25% of my reading this year was nonfiction, & that 40% of my reading was content I owned (though next year I want to track just the books that have been on my physical shelves for a long time).
Me, too.
Getting ready for school. Math has never been so interesting ❤️ special thx to @kwmg40 for posting about this book and sending me down this rabbit hole of learning
pickI highly recommend this book if you're a math teacher or just interested in math education. It seems that a number of schools here in Canada have started adopting some of the ideas, though it's a slow process as curriculum requirements are strict and resources are limited (at least here in Ontario).

If a train leaves the station with 5 carts of bananas and drives west for 250 miles, how many mangos does he have? 😂 2mo
