It's Alive!

In this updated edition of Its Alive!, the kind of gooey, slimy, weird, and disgusting science facts that kids love are turned into hilarious and engaging math problems! Simple in design but valuable in content, this book will thrill and excite your middle schooler by replacing typical, run-of-the-mill math problems with the stuff theyre really thinking about like: How many unknown-to-science microbes live in your belly button? The percent of seats at Yankee Stadium that do not have gum stuck to them How many times gas is passed in the average 60-minute math class How many gigabytes their brain can hold! Math is fun when we get to figure the cost of a meal at the AfterMath Restaurant, with foods like Macaroni and Sneeze, Deep Fried Lint, and Hot Sludge Sundae. Even the comprehensive answer key, including step by step detail and problem-solving strategies, is hilarious! Teachers will especially appreciate the new editions inclusion of a page linking each problem with specific Common Core Standards. Possibly the funniest math book ever written, this new edition is a must-have for teachers and their students looking for an extra challenge!
