Discovering Graph Secrets: Experiments, Puzzles, and Games Exploring Graphs

From School Library Journal Grade 4-8?Several activities that use brief puzzle or "mystery" stories are proposed to help children master the concept of graphs. These problems are lucid, and the above-average illustrations, consisting of a variety of graphs as well as color photos, are crisp and clear. If all else fails, the solutions are at the back of the book. The environmental activities, such as observing birds or graphing the family recycling, are especially helpful. Bar, line, and circle graphs are all included. This volume should be warmly received and as useful as Markle's earlier activity books. Though most helpful in an educational setting, the book will also appeal to families who enjoy learning together.?Jody McCoy, Lakehill Preparatory School, Dallas, TXCopyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
