    Natural Math
    Volume: 22015; 134 pp

    This book offers a deeper insight into what mathematics is, tapping every child's intuitive ideas of logic and natural enjoyment of games. Simple-looking games and puzzles quickly lead to deeper insights, which will eventually connect with significant formal mathematical ideas as the child grows.

    This book is addressed to leaders of math circles or enrichment programs, but its activities can fit into regular math classes, homeschooling venues, or situations in which students are learning mathematics on their own. The mathematics contained in the activities can be enjoyed on many levels.

    Readership

    Parents and teachers interested in logic games and activities for young people.

    • Most students encounter math through boring, rote memorization and drill and skill. Camp Logic reverses the trend by offering teachers fun, inquiry-based activities that get to the deeper elegance and joy of math with adaptations for different skill levels and learning environments. The work of Saul and Zelbo has redefined how math is taught in our programs.

      Meghan Groome, Executive Director of Education and Public Programs at the New York Academy of Sciences
    • Sian Zelbo and Mark Saul have created a user-friendly guide to help educators engage kids in finding patterns and using logic to solve puzzles. The program is a challenging yet fun approach to deepening math understanding.

      Lisa Mielke, STEM Programs Manager for TASC, New York
    • Mark and Sian have put together a delightful set of activities that are sure to captivate young minds (and old). Kids will enjoy games like Giotto for hours, all the while improving their math skills for years to come.
