Description 288 pages | Publisher: Bantam | English | ISBN-10: 0553372971 | PDF | 12,2 MB Comprising the entire brainteasing spectrum from the silly and quirky to the clever and profound and drawing on classic wisdom from around the world and from as far back as 7,000 B.C., this collection features puzzles via Hebrew mystics, medieval Muslims, Benjamin Franklin, Sun Tsu, and more. From Booklist Olivastro's combination of history and puzzles-to-solve may intimidate or simply put off some readers who are strictly of the "let's play" school. Others will be enthralled to learn of the antiquity of some of today's still-popular numeric puzzles. Along the way, the author delivers some fascinating information, such as the origin of the word stockholder and of a magic square devised by Benjamin Franklin. Here are some great ideas for enlivening a math classroom or blending math with history or social studies. PLZ SEED  SHARING IS CARING :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: Sharing Widget |
