Mathematickle: Giggle, Grin, Grunt and Groan

by John P. Ashley, Jonathan Ashley (Illustrator)

Giggle, Grin, Grunt and Groan with this fun math book for all ages and mathematic skills.

This book entertains, amuses and challenges the reader, while giving rise to a broader appreciation of mathematics. Almost all the topics covered in the book are appropriate for an elementary or pre-algebra student. Yet, they have appeal across a broad range of ages and skill levels in mathematics. Trained mathematicians, engineers and CPA's grin as happily at these materials as the student looking for a way to perplex a teacher. In the end, all come away with a greater appreciation of the mysteries of mathematics.
