Review
One of the hardest things to teach middle school kids is how math concepts relate to real life. Many students are convinced that they will never need to use formulas and theorems in day-to-day activities. 101 Things Everyone Should Know About Math gives sound and practical examples of how knowing math really does help you solve real world problems. Whether you excel in math or struggle with it, there's something in this book for you!--James Singaglise, Principal, Holy Family School, Florham Park, NJ
These books are some of the most engaging nonfiction books I have ever read! They correlate so well with our science curriculum and the Common Core State Standards. The reason we love them is because they have real-world applications. With Mississippi adopting the new Common Core State Standards, using nonfiction texts is very important. Science, Naturally!'s books are an excellent asset to our teachers' resource libraries!--Sonya Smith, Science Coordinator, ATOMS2XP (Advancing Teachers of Middle School Science) and IMPACT2 (In-depth Mathematical Practices and Content Teacher Training), Miss. State, MS
Being comfortable with math makes everyone smarter consumers and more rational decision makers. Most people don't realize how much math is used in making everyday choices. 101 Things Everyone Should Know About Math, which is complete with real-life scenarios, shows kids that math is everywhere. This is a wonderful book for making complex topics approachable and helping readers discover the fascinating world of math!--Rachel Connelly, Ph.D., Bion R. Cram Professor of Economics, Bowdoin College, Brunswick, ME
101 Things Everyone Should Know About Math truly illustrates the scope and importance of learning and understanding mathematics. It is a fabulous resource for kids, parents and teachers looking for a way to link mathematics to everyday life. With entertaining connections to popular culture, sports, hobbies, science and careers, kids of all ages will find this book engaging...and challenging!--Carole Basile, Ed.D., University of Colorado, Denver, and Co-Director, Rocky Mountain Middle School Math and Science Partnership
101 Things Everyone Should Know About Math is great for practice and exploration. The puzzles and activities are entertaining and smartly connected to real life. Whether you are an expert or a novice, you'll find the challenges to be intriguing and insightful!--Maria Diamantis, Ed. D., Professor of Mathematics Education, Southern Connecticut State University
101 Things Everyone Should Know About Math is an extraordinary resource--imaginative and practical, insightful and humorous. Students will not only have fun solving the problems, but they will also find it an invaluable aid with homework. As a former high school math teacher, I love that this book carries mathematics out of the world of the elite and translates it into a language we can all understand.--Alvin Mayes, BA Mathematics, Department of Dance (and Math tutor), University of Maryland
This book is a wonderful secondary resource for all teachers of mathematics. Students need the real-world math skills that the activities in this book reinforce. The challenges are enjoyable, yet they require higher level thinking--children barely realize they are actively learning! 101 Things Everyone Should Know About Math is an invaluable tool for students, teachers and parents!--Dr. Cheryl Moretz, Principal, Brayton Elementary School, Summit, NJ
As a homeschooling mom of three boys, I found this book to be an enjoyable family-fun game and an excellent teaching tool! The questions are challenging and great homeschool problems. We loved the fact that the problems are easy enough to do in the car--no need to break out a calculator or pencil and paper! Plus, the included math resources and tables are great knowledge foundations in themselves.--Kathy Savage, Homeschool teacher, M.S. Developmental Psychobiology
101 Things Everyone Should Know about Math is a great source of math facts for children and a quick, fun refresher for adults. The problems are accessible, funny, and informative! It is a particularly useful book for those who've been away from math for a while. Try it with your kids--you just might learn something yourself!--Cheryl L. Stadel-Bevans, M.S. Mathematics, Washington, D.C.

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
