An interactive guide to shapes for 5 to 8 year olds, this bright and bold lift-the-flap activity book helps children understand the properties of 2-D and 3-D shapes. Shapes are an important topic for early learners, and this visually appealing book will make it a lot of fun, too! Geometry Genius features fun geometric characters, like Fox and Lion, and lift-the-flap activities that help kids relate shapes to everyday life. Characters pose key questions, such as "What's special about a sphere?," "What is an equilateral triangle?," and "How many lines of symmetry does a hexagon have?" Children can then lift the flaps and find the answers. An interactive pop-up will also bring learning to life by encouraging kids to spot different shapes within the scene. Geometry Genius helps kids identify and describe 2-D and 3-D shapes, compare and contrast features of regular and irregular shapes, discuss the size and orientation of shapes, understand nets, identify and count lines of symmetry, and more! It gets kids thinking about shapes in their world and not just on the pages of a math book. Quiz questions and fun activities are found sprinkled throughout the book, encouraging kids to lift the flaps and find out more. Learning shapes is a highly visual topic, and this book tackles the subject in a visually appealing, fully interactive, and playful way.

Presents algebra exercises with easy-to-follow guidelines, and includes over one thousand problems in numerous algebraic topics.

Fundamentals of Mathematics is a work text that covers the traditional study in a modern prealgebra course, as well as the topics of estimation, elementary analytic geometry, and introductory algebra. It is intended for students who: have had previous courses in prealgebra wish to meet the prerequisites of higher level courses such as elementary algebra need to review fundamental mathematical concenpts and techniques This text will help the student devlop the insight and intuition necessary to master arithmetic techniques and manipulative skills. It was written with the following main objectives: to provide the student with an understandable and usable source of information to provide the student with the maximum oppurtinity to see that arithmetic concepts and techniques are logically based to instill in the student the understanding and intuitive skills necessary to know how and when to use particular arithmetic concepts in subsequent material cources and nonclassroom situations to give the students the ability to correctly interpret arithmetically obtained results We have tried to meet these objects by presenting material dynamically much the way an instructure might present the material visually in a classroom. (See the development of the concept of addition and subtraction of fractions in section 5.3 for examples) Intuition and understanding are some of the keys to creative thinking, we belive that the material presented in this text will help students realize that mathematics is a creative subject.

This volume completes the English adaptation of a classical Russian textbook in elementary Euclidean geometry. The 1st volume subtitled "Book I. Planimetry" was published in 2006 (ISBN 0977985202). This 2nd volume (Book II. Stereometry) covers solid geometry, and contains a chapter on vectors, foundations, and introduction in non-Euclidean geometry added by the translator. The book intended for high-school and college students, and their teachers. Includes 317 exercises, index, and bibliography.

Learn to solve statistics problems—and make them no problem! Most math and science study guides are dry and difficult, but this is the exception. Following the successful The Humongous Books in calculus and algebra, bestselling author Mike Kelley takes a typical statistics workbook, full of solved problems, and writes notes in the margins, adding missing steps and simplifying concepts and solutions. By learning how to interpret and solve problems as they are presented in statistics courses, students prepare to solve those difficult problems that were never discussed in class but are always on exams. There are also annotated notes throughout the book to clarify each problem—all guided by an author with a great track record for helping students and math enthusiasts. His website (calculus-help.com) reaches thousands of students every month.

The images in this book are in color. For a less-expensive grayscale paperback version, see ISBN 9781680923254. Prealgebra 2e is designed to meet scope and sequence requirements for a one-semester prealgebra course. The text introduces the fundamental concepts of algebra while addressing the needs of students with diverse backgrounds and learning styles. Each topic builds upon previously developed material to demonstrate the cohesiveness and structure of mathematics. Students who are taking basic mathematics and prealgebra classes in college present a unique set of challenges. Many students in these classes have been unsuccessful in their prior math classes. They may think they know some math, but their core knowledge is full of holes. Furthermore, these students need to learn much more than the course content. They need to learn study skills, time management, and how to deal with math anxiety. Some students lack basic reading and arithmetic skills. The organization of Prealgebra makes it easy to adapt the book to suit a variety of course syllabi.
