Synopsis

This clever and challenging approach to math will interest and inspire budding mathematicians and encourage an active way of learning. Using real-world situations, this book displays the practical applications for the math that children learn in classrooms and demonstrates that math goes far beyond paper and pencil and into everyday life.
 
Exploring the physical challenges of extreme sports athletes, this reference looks at daring tricks and impressive performances through the lens of mathematics. By deconstructing these performances, young learners will get excited about the ways they can apply math in their own lives.
