A piece of my childhood came in the mail today. My inner baby #mathnerd heart is so happy right now. 😄❤️ #myfirstmathbook . I LOVED my #Childcraft book set when I was a kid. I read all of them—even the Guide for Parents. I was so excited to find a used copy online of #13: #Mathemagic—my favorite in the set. . As I flipped through the 300+ pages of it, I remembered the a number of the layouts and the pictures and the stories. . I remembered the logic puzzles at the beginning, the lists of how to count to 10 in different languages, the mathematics of why vampires couldn’t exist, and the stories behind why we have different units of measurement. . This is the book that introduced me to the novels The Phantom Tollbooth and Flatland. . I loved constructing the Möbius strip and the 3D shapes from the nets towards the end. . This book still influences my #teaching. I used something I read in this book a couple of weeks ago to explain a point in class. . In short, this is a great book. 👍👍 . I just wanted you to know that. 😄 https://www.instagram.com/p/BnnPBGwH-ok/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d63x0bdmemsj
