and mummies, since that s what we re studying in school right now He had made some 3D pyramids from paper in the last couple weeks, and I could see the light go on in his head when he made the

book is a unique way to review and reitterate geometry.The story is constructed as a fun mystery that students can solve through questions presented Students 3rd 4th gradeBrief surface content about Egypt and the pyramids mummysContent Geometric solids Perimeter Area Angles RiddlesGreat book for kids to practice their geometry The plots is very interesting and unique Students can try making their own hieroglyphics with geometric shapes as well.I didn t enjoy this anywhere near as much as the Sir Cumference books, and I found it less mathematically engaging as well.There are a couple of places in this where one answer is presented as wrong and another as right, and I thinkbothanswers would be reasonable with appropriate support Suspension of belief questions would face as in a person s face and face as in a polyhedron s face really be represented the same way Did Egyptian mathematics have a concept of face Most of what I I didn t enjoy this anywhere near as much as the Sir Cumference
