This book by a long-time creator will appeal to enthusiasts of mathematics and puzzles as well as fans of modular origami. Over thirty elegant projects are absorbing to make and rewarding to assemble - without glue or scissors. When finished, not only do the projects please the eye and stimulate the imagination, they have a bonus feature: they move, spin or change shape in unique and fascinating ways.All in one place, fully diagrammed - clear step-by-step instructions with thoughts behind the folds. Many have been improved during years of experimentation and experiences of making and teaching."beautiful and elegant designs...immaculate diagrams." British Origami Society"WXYZ model is so iconic...the most elegant model in all of modular origami." trivialknot"his modular creations are fine examples of original and economical folding" David Petty, author of Origami A-B-C and Origami 1-2-3

Getting and keeping teens interest in mathematics is vital to their future. But how, when there are so many dreary textbooks and repetitive curriculum requirements? Covering everything that they need to know is about all a school can do. What approach would work, when there are million other things for them to do? Ioanna Georgiou and Asuka Young have come up with a novel approach that is based on stories from history - with a twist! Peculiar Deaths combines short stories about key mathematicians from the past and how they died, with details of the mathematical advances that they made. But one of the deaths is made up - but which one? Can Beans Kill You? - Pythagoras Death by Square Root - Hippasus You should not be Disturbing my Circles! - Archimedes What? A Woman Mathematician? Die! - Hypatia A bit of Gambling Killed No-one, Ever - Gerolamo Cardano A Very Rich Way to Die - Tycho Brahe Death by Time Calculation - Abraham De Moivre Just a Bit Too Young - Evariste Galois At the Mental Asylum - Andre Bloch > Funny and enjoyable stories, with visual puzzles throughout. A great way to learn about mathematics of the past, and for students age 13 and over to enjoy learning and understand key concepts. Perfect for libraries, clubs and as prizes too.

Use your statistics to solve the questions, shade the answers in to reveal the answers to the picture puzzles. Revise and reinforce your mathematics...mindfully!

For students aged 11-16 - these activities provide a blank numbered grid. Solve the geometry question and match the answer to the grid. Colour the right answers and a puzzle picture emerges. Perfect for teachers and parents to provide an alternative way to reinforce and revise geometry.

Do the algebra and colour the answers in to reveal the answer to the puzzle picture - reinforcing and revising Mathematics...mindfully!

The mathematics of surfaces is a fascinating subject - lying as it does at the heart of much architecture, art and maths, engineering and science. John Sharp's innovative use of sliceforms to explore the properties of surfaces is here produced in a systematic way, providing the reader the tools to build surfaces from paper to explore their mathematical properties. The extensive commentary explains the mathematics behind particular surfaces. Chapters on using computers to generate slices and sample templates complete the book. An invaluable exercise in practical geometry that will stimulate ideas for the student, professionals involved in modelling surfaces and the enthusiast. Contents:· Introduction and Basic Techniques· Contours and profiles· Properties and Types of Surfaces· Surfaces of Revolution· Ruled Surfaces· Surfaces from Equations: Algebraic surfaces· Polyhedra· Variations and explorations· Using the Computer· Templates and further resources

The Big Story for Little Historian series provides a story-led introduction to history for 5-7 year olds. Beautifully illustrated, these are stories for bedtime or school: a springboard to great things! Supporting materials for teacher or parent are available. Book 1 in the series is on the story of the Norman invasion of England in 1066.

EnigMath's original geometry puzzles will appeal to many ages and levels of experience. Full solutions are included.

"17 chapters of paradoxes and fascinating ideas ... poems and pictures to help you remember them"--Back cover.

Coding book that provides projects that can be done in Scratch, Snap and Python for young coders from 7-14 years.

Provides a step by step guide to building 3D objects from 2D drawings The book has been prepared for those interested in, or studying, Design and Technology and is designed to both introduce and consolidate the link between two and three-dimensional thinking. Models figure prominently in design, engineering and architecture. Their manufacture and use provide a substantial contribution towards achieving good design. Whilst computer aided design has been immensely powerful, this book provides templates designed to take you back to basic principles. A task or two in the "real" world will also help increase understanding of the CAD world. Neglected basic principles are frequently the root cause of errors. It is envisaged that the nature of the book will assist in eliminating such tendencies and strengthen confidence throughout this particular field of technical study. The emphasis is on participation, with material supplied to instruct, enlighten and stimulate. The book can be used at home or in school or college. But its approach is to construct models with a steadily increasing level of difficulty - providing a set of personally prepared aids, which subsequently provide an essential source of help and information in design projects. Experience gained from using this publication will hopefully provide users with a sense of achievement, encourage interest and lead to a desire to learn more.
