What's Your Angle, Pythagoras?: A Math Adventure (Charlesbridge Math Adventures)

Great book. My 9 year old son loved it For! It's great for setting a foundation or a basic understanding. Can easily be read to young readers who have not yet touched on the topic.

I purchased this book as I always give come historical context to my students before giving a lesson. It helps the children to appreciate what has been discovered and helps them to remember that it does not matter if they don't understand a theorem right away, it took years and years of thoughtful work to Pythagoras to understand it himself :P

We were not taught the purpose of maths andI want to show my children (and myself) why we need it and how its all around us. So this book teaches the purpose and also who came up with the theory adding to thier knowledge and incorporating a historic figure.

I bought the book as my grandson's maths group has the same title. We loved it so much that it was an automatic choice for him to take in to school at the earliest opportunity for "show and tell." ( He's eight.)

This was a gift for a 10 year old Ladin Ebgland

Few pages but gets point accross

it's difficult to find a maths book that can engage the children, but the children were enthralled by this book

Too dumbed down for a 10 year old
