Math for Kids, the fourth book of The Kitchen Pantry Scientist series, brings math to life through biography and creative engagement. Go beyond counting. Solve puzzles, learn a magic trick, and play a ton of games. This engaging guide offers a series of snapshots of 20+ mathematicians, from ancient history through today, paired with related hands-on projects perfect for a kitchen or a classroom. Each lab tells the story of a mathematician along with some background about the importance of their work, and a description of where it is still being used or reflected in today's world. A step-by-step illustrated game or activity paired with each story offers kids an opportunity to engage directly with concepts the mathematicians pursued, or are working on today. Experiments range from very simple projects using materials you probably already have on hand, to more complicated ones that may require a few inexpensive items you can purchase online. Just a few of the incredible people and scientific concepts you'll explore: Hypatia (b. ~350-370) Square Wheels Florence Nightingale (b. 1820) Pizza Pie Charts Emmy Noether (b. 1882) Fabulous Folding Flexagons Ron Graham (b. 1935) Fibbonacci Spiral Fan Chung (b. 1949) Corners and Edges and Faces! Oh my! With this fascinating, hands-on exploration of the history of mathematics, inspire the next generation of great mathematicians. Dig into even more incredible science history from The Kitchen Pantry Scientist series with: Chemistry for Kids, Biology for Kids, Physics for Kids, and Ecology for Kids.

Keep your mind sharp all year long with Mathematics 2020: Your Daily Epsilon of Math, a 12" × 12" wall calendar featuring 12 images relating to math concepts! Too often, math is sidelined as a daunting part of academia that we rarely use outside of school; but doing daily mathematics can help keep your brain working in ways that verbal exercises can't. Let mathematicians Rebecca Rapoport and Dean Chung stimulate the left side of your brain by providing you with an equation for every day of the year. The solution for each equation is the date; but the challenge lies in figuring how to arrive at the answer, and possibly discovering more than one method of arriving there. With entry-level algebra, word problems, and math puns thrown into the mix, this calendar allows you not only to do math, but also to see the many ways in which math can be applied to your everyday life. End the year with more brains than you had when it began with Mathematics 2020: Your Daily Epsilon of Math.
