Tehlikesavar Matematik Cambazları

by Sean Connolly, İpek Güneş Çıgay (Translator)

BU PROBLEMLERİ ÇÖZ. HAYATIN BUNA BAĞLI.

İŞTE SANA BİRBİRİNDEN TEHLİKELİ VE ÖLÜMCÜL 24 MATEMATİK MÜCADELESİ.

Matematikle ilgili problemlerin mi var? Yok yok, “matematik problemlerinden” söz etmiyorum, matematikle senin bir problemin var mı? Yani örneğin, bazı konular seni zorluyor mu? Ya da bazı denklemler sana fazla mı karmaşık geliyor? Peki, işlem yaparken canın sıkılıyor mu?
Belki de yeterince stresli düşünmediğindendir!
Neyse ki şimdi önünde kendini kanıtlama şansı var. Zombilerden, vampirlerden, düşman casuslardan, göktaşlarından, acayip keskin bıçaklardan ve daha bir sürü süper tehlikeli şeyden kaçmanı sağlayacak mücadeleleri çöz ve hayatını kurtar! Tabii bu sırada matematik bilgini biraz konuşturursan da fena olmaz!

DİKKAT DİKKAT!
Büyük ihtimalle anne baban, okul günlerinden beri matematik problemi çözmedi. Yani onlardan yardım istediğinde, feci korkmaları çok olası. Ama bu iyi bir şey. Onlar, bu kitaptaki zorlayıcı ve birbirinden eğlenceli problemleri tamamen tek başına çözmeye çalıştığını görünce seninle gurur duyacak. Eh... bence sen de onlardan yardım isteme ve bu güzel eğlenceyi bozma!

Oh My Gosh! This book is AWESOME!!!! You get to save yourself from killer tornadoes, Zombies, asteroids, and much more using math!!!! However, they are a bit hard....

I want to do all of these activities with my students! How inspiring!! :-D

[Cheryl · Rating 4 out of 5]

So much fun! And I could understand almost all of these, but I still learned to understand the principles better. I mean, it's true that a lot of the math we learn after fifth grade we don't normally truly need, so after a half century it was really good to get a refresher... which means I can actually now solve irl problems more efficiently. And maybe have more fun with more brainteasers for slightly older students...?

Two things especially 'wowed' me:

It's amazing to see how small a 'patch' is needed to increase the circumference of a circle, if the radius is increased. Six inches longer 'r' to an 8K miles C adds only 'pi' feet!

Next time I have a straw I'm going to do the water pressure lab. Blow bubbles with the straw near the top of the glass, then at the bottom, note how much harder the second position is.

Görüp görebileceğiniz en orijinal, en eğlenceli matematik kitabı. Matematik kitabı olmasına karşın orijinal ve eğlenceli. Daha ne diyeyim?

Neyse, şunları diyeyim: Birbirinden heyecanlı ve maceralı 24 hikâye ile, matematiğin en çetrefilli konularını bile rahatlıkla anlatıyor bu kitap. Keşke benim zamanımda da olaydı da matematiğim az iyi olaydı be!

Extremely engaging math puzzles and problems. My daughter and I worked on one every night while reading about the adventures. Highly recommended for any child fearful of math because it shows how math is applicable in so many circumstances. Extremely fun and addicting, making me craving for more.

Short scenarios with math problems at the center of the situation. Insights provided.

[Janice · Rating 5 out of 5]

Twenty-four problems to solve along with projects to do. Can’t wait to use in my classroom.

Nobody ever told me math could be fun, so for me, it wasn’t. However, math can be fun and this book proves it. There are 24 chapters, each with a “do or die” scenario, perfect for “reluctant mathematicians.” The scenarios are intriguing, well thought out and cleverly illustrated. There are lots of illustrations – colorful and funny, and that’s another thing that will make this book appealing to kids. The cover alone will pull them in. This does NOT look like a math book. Some chapter titles to choose from are Ship Wrecked, Deadly Spiders, Locked in a Tower, Avoid the Blade, Vampire Frenzy, and Deadly Pizza. Sound exciting? It is! Each chapter has Hints to get you started, deepen the mystery or stimulate more complex thought processes as well as the solution, worked out in great detail. No need to go to the back of the book to find the answer. There is also a Math Lab section with simple activities you can do with ordinary household items to reinforce the lessons. I can see this book having many uses. Teachers can use it for a regular math less, team projects, and a time filler. It’s a book to grow into because the lessons are a different levels. The intro says it’s aligned with the Common Core math standards for grades 5,6,and 7. Why shouldn't math be fun and exciting!

This was a great book, especially for older students, mainly because it has all different kinds of neat activities, word problems and scenarios to solve. I could see these problems being used for upper grade classes,especially one that is more male dominated. This book's puzzles could easily be used as a center, or as a morning meeting message introductions for the day.

Milo loved this. It gives improbable disaster scenarios, which you can get yourself out of, if you use the right math tools.

[Margaret Clark · Rating 5 out of 5]

We have a hit! The third-grade Ninja looooves it!

[Laura · Rating 5 out of 5]

The perfect book for a math lover. My 9 year old son LOVES THIS BOOK!!! It has a lot of fun tricks, games, and shortcuts.

[Gladius]

Alright as a math book.
