Synopsis

What does mathematics have to do with schemes to get rich quick, games like "Creep, " "Pig, " and "Poison, " and getting a vest off your grandfather without removing his coat? How would you like to have the last laugh on your parents when they tell you to stop playing around with those magic tricks and get on with your homework? Are you a permutation ice cream cone eater or a combination ice cream cone eater? What offers you thirteen new riddles, sidewalk games, things to do when you have the flu, and a sneaky way of getting around drying the dishes?

About this title

Book Description

This book has been written especially for children who have been convinced by the attitudes of adults that mathematics is impossible and only for bright kids. It shows that maths is nothing more than a way of looking at the world and that it can be relevant to everyday life and fun.
