Fall Curriculum Clean Out: Living Math Book Giveaway

Photobucket

My Living Math bookshelf could use a little lightening. Here's one for a giveaway:


Pigs in the Corner, hardcover, ex-library in good condition.

Leave a comment with the title of your FAVORITE LIVING MATH BOOK. If you're not sure what a "living math book" is, you'll find some ideas here. I'll choose a winner at random on Sunday the 29th. Please leave a way to reach you or I'll need to pick an alternate winner. Sorry, but only U.S. shipping. Thanks for visiting! :) And thanks to Joyful Learner for alerting me to the Curriculum Clean-Out!

***It's Sunday, August 29, and the Giveaway is now closed. Thanks for entering. Winner is #22, Brandi!

    My favorite is Amanda Bean's Amazing Dream. 8 read it every year to my students and I can't wait to read it to our daughter. You can't ever have enough living math books! Count me in! No pun intended.

    My DD just learned the days of the week and is keeping up her perpetual calendar thanks to the awesome Very Hunger Caterpillar pop up book. OK, I splurged because Mom really wanted it. But DD loves it, too.

    I LOVE books, and I especially LOVE math books. Let's see, my favorite living math book...hmm... The Mathematical Universe by William Dunham (for older readers than most of the books listed so far, but an excellent book).

    I hadn't heard of living math books, but looking at your list The Silly Story of Goldie Locks and the Three Squares sounds very cute. I will be looking into this more.
