Bedtime Math: The Truth Comes Out
"We want kids to feel about math the way they feel about dessert after dinner." —Laura Overdeck, Time magazine Our mission: to make math a fun part of kids'' everyday lives. When is the last time you gave your child a math problem just for fun? Yesterday? Last year? Maybe never? We all know it''s wonderful to read bedtime stories to kids, but the question remains—what about doing math? Math has a negative association in our culture and many Americans are uncomfortable and even fearful of math and numbers. But Bedtime Math is here to change all that. In Bedtime Math 3, math and fun facts combine for one wacky and wild adventure! Now kids can discover the truth behind all their favorite things: marshmallows, Coca-Cola, astronaut ice cream, and more! These fun, mischief-making math problems aren''t just kid-friendly, but actually, kid-appealing. With over 100 math problems on a variety of topics, kids will find math isn''t just fun—it can be found everywhere! And with three different levels of challenge (Wee ones, Little kids, and Big kids), plus a Bonus question, there''s something for everyone. We can make numbers fun—and change the world—one Bedtime Math problem at a time.

Matemáticas Antes de Dormir (Bedtime Math)
Nuestra misión: que las matemáticas sean una parte divertida en la vida de los niños. Leer cuentos a los niños antes de dormir es maravilloso, pero ¿qué pasa con las matemáticas? Mucha gente no se siente cómoda con las matemáticas y los números, y con frecuencia oímos el "¡Es que no se me dan bien!". Esta actitud se ha ido pasando de padres a hijos durante décadas, y ahora, en nuestra cultura, se piensa que las matemáticas son difíciles, intimidantes y nada divertidas. Matemáticas antes de dormir quiere cambiar eso. Dentro de este libro hay problemas de matemáticas divertidos y entretenidos que entusiasmarán a los niños y se pueden resolver en familia. Con más de 100 problemas y temas que van desde los jalapeños a los submarinos, desde las montañas rusas a los flamencos, este libro no se parece en nada a un libro de texto. Sus tres niveles de dificultad (Niños chiquitos, Niños medianos y Niños grandes) ofrecen algo para todos. Hagamos que a los niños les fascinen las matemáticas y cambiemos el mundo, con un problema de Matemáticas a la hora de dormir de cada vez.

Zábavná matematika pod polštář
JAK SI ZAMILOVAT MATEMATIKU! Každá z pěti kapitol je věnována zábavnému tématu – zajímavým zvířátkům, zvláštně se chovajícímu jídlu, netradičním dopravním prostředkům, neobvyklým sportům či pozoruhodným povoláním – zkrátka věcem, se kterými se v klasických učebnicích děti nesetkají. Téměř čtyřicet témat začíná krátkým poutavým příběhem, který vede ke třem příkladům různé úrovně. Předškolní děti se seznamují se základy sčítání, odčítání a porovnávání hodnot v úrovni nazvané Předškoláček. Kategorie Šikulka už počítá i s dvoucifernými čísly, násobí a řeší logické hádanky. Příklady pro Chytrolíny potrápí mladé počtáře řešením komplikovanějších úloh s využitím kombinací všech početních operací. Všichni čtenáři, nejen děti, ale i rodiče či prarodiče, si mohou vybrat obtížnost, která jim bude vyhovovat nejvíce. Zvláště rodiče pak ocení správné řešení úloh.
