Book Reviews of Fractals, Googols, and Other Mathematical Tales

Book Review: Math tales
Summary: 3 Stars

I'm not sure the intended audience of this book. The pictures are too minimal for early elementary, with content far above them. The grades for whom the content is appropriate would probably find the stories unappealing. They didn't catch my interest either. To its credit, the book has some interesting sidebars and activities for teacher use. My resources would not have been lacking if I'd passed on this purchase.
