Many people fear math and numbers, even Barbie, who famously said "Math class is tough" in her controversial 1992 talking doll version. But in Sneaky Math, Cy Tymony takes tough and turns it into triumph. He shows us how math is all around us through intriguing and easy projects, including 20 pass-along tools to complement math education programs.
The book is divided into seven sections:
1. Fundamentals of Numbers and Arithmetic
2. Algebra Primer
3. Geometry Primer
4. Trigonometry Primer
5. Calculus Primer
6. Sneaky Math Challenges, Tricks, and Formulas
7. Resources
