Improve your understanding of maths by relating simple maths concepts to the world around you

Everything around you is a shape. Some are simple, like a circle or a triangle, and some are complex, like a snowflake or a star. And some are combinations of many shapes In this volume, readers learn about a variety of shapes and how they're used in the world around them--especially when it comes to understanding math. As accompanying graphics present a visual element to each concept discussed, this volume provides readers with a helpful tool to explore shapes. They can even test their knowledge at the end of reading by taking a concluding quiz.

What happens to data after it's collected? Well, that's where statistics come in Statistics is the process of collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and displaying data, often on graphs. As statistics are a very visual math concept, this volume ensures readers have accompanying graphics and illustrations to broaden their understanding. In addition to age-appropriate text, this volume presents a concluding quiz and answer key to create a space for students to apply their learned knowledge and classroom curricula.

We can never run out of numbers--they just keep going and going and going In this volume, readers learn about the different kinds of numbers, from natural numbers to negative numbers, as well as the different rules that exist when dealing with each type. From breaking down even and odd numbers to square numbers, this volume provides a guiding tool for readers to reference that builds on their classroom curricula. A quiz and answer key await readers at the end so they can put their bounty of learned knowledge to the test

When math is used in an everyday scenario, it often involves calculations. Calculations are needed to build, budget, and even cook Throughout this volume, readers learn about the different ways number combinations can be used for calculations, as well as different things that need to be calculated in order to work. Helpful illustrations guide readers to grasp the content, while a concluding quiz and answer key allow them to put their gained understanding to the test. As they build on concepts learned in the classroom, readers can use this volume as a reference tool for further engagement.

Measurements are a way of determining the size or amount of something and turning that quantity into a number. From cooking to athletics to temperatures, measurements are an integral part of understanding math and the world around us. In this volume, difficult concepts are broken down into accessible text and helpful graphics for readers, especially those struggling with math curricula. Puzzles are dispersed throughout the volume so readers can apply the concepts alongside their learning journey, while a concluding quiz and answer key further tests what they learn.

What is a fraction? Well, if you split a chocolate chip cookie in two equal pieces, you have two halves, which is a fraction Fractions are pieces of whole numbers that have been split up into equal pieces. Readers learn about fractions in many different aspects of their lives, from cooking to telling time on a clock. They even learn how fractions are important in music As complex concepts are broken down in an accessible way for readers, they are able to expand their knowledge of classroom curricula to broaden their mathematics abilities.
