Summary: It's so good, I read it in bed!
Review: I teach a grade 5/6 enrichment program and am always looking for unique, stimulating material. I have already written a fan letter to Mr. Zacarro about his Challenge Math book. It is amazing. Every teacher should have a copy. I didn't hesitate to buy The 10 Things All Future Mathematicians and Scientists Must Know: But Are Rarely Taught and was again amazed. It is so good! Each chapter is a different "truth" about what math and science give us and the examples and stories used are interesting, poignant and relevant. My kids love it and I hear them applying what they learn from this book to current events and problem solving. It will realy make them think. If you teach math or science to kids in grades 6 and up, you will be giving them a great gift by using this book in your classroom! You may find yourself taking it home to read yourself at night too!
