| Summary |
Offers games and activities to learn about graphs and statistics, including pictographs, bar graphs, pie charts, and line graphs. Don't Just Learn Great Graphs and Statistics, Master Them! Brimming with fun and educational games and activities, the Magical Math series provides everything you need to know to become a master of mathematics! In each of these books, Lynette Long uses her own unique style to help you truly understand mathematical concepts as you use common objects such as playing cards, dice, coins, and every mathematician's basic, essential tools: paper and pencil. Inside "Great Graphs and Sensational Statistics, you'll learn the basics of pictographs, bar graphs, pie charts, line graphs, and map charts, and you'll see how they make information easy to understand. You'll jump into statistics, where you'll discover how to figure out the average test score on your spelling tests, how to tell the difference between percent and percentile, and how to rank order a group of numbers. You'll also practice your new math skills with such fun activities as Dangling Spoons, Weather Bingo, Tower Tallies, and Color Feud. Track the mail, test the memory of your friends, do a sleep study, and much more as you learn how graphs and statistics can reveal the world around you. An off-the-chart book of graphing games and activities-even for kids who dislike math-like the other books in Lynette Long's Magical Math series, Great Graphs and Sensational Statistics helps make basic math interesting. Children will learn graphing and statistics techniques through dozens of easy activities and lively illustrations. They will find out how to make pictographs, pie charts, bar graphs, line graphs, and much more. All activities are appropriate to the learning level and can be done at home or in the classroom with easy-to-find materials, such as playing cards, dice, and paper and pencil. Lynette Long, PhD (Washington, DC) is the author of several children's math books, including Marvelous Multiplication (0-471-36982-9), Dazzling Division (0-471-36983-7), Fabulous Fractions (0471369810), and Measurement Mania (0-471-36980-2) |
