Book offers visual problems for students to discuss and explore. The detailed breakdown of what each problem is intended to explore, the suggested question and extension all look useful. I'm eager to try some of these with students. I suspect the book may grow on me as I do. I am wondering if reproducing the (color) pictures will work.
