**Discover how math is part of our daily lives with Everyday STEM
Math--Amazing Math.
**
Mathematics is not just working out sums and equations for school--it's
all around us and used in everyday situations. From photography and
cooking to ballet and fashion design--math is the building block of
everything! Discover how watching rabbits and bees developed into a
famous sequence, see the ancient Egyptians apply math to pyramid
building, and meet the inspirational mathematicians who brought numbers
and symbols to life, including Marjorie Lee Browne, Archimedes, and
Maryam Mirzakhani. A "try this at home" section shows readers how math
helps you to read minds and how a sequence can turn you into an artist.
With easy-to-understand text written by math expert Lou Abercrombie, and
lots of colorful artworks, photos, and diagrams, readers can best
explore where we encounter math and why it's even important at all.
The Everyday STEM series makes science relevant to tweens. Instead of
telling kids STEM is important and is the key to their future success,
these books show readers how we use science, technology, engineering,
and math in our everyday lives. While the topics sound high-level and
complex, this series makes these concepts age-appropriate and
accessible. So, while we can't promise to teach 9 to 11-year-olds
quantum physics, we can explain in the simplest terms the practical
applications of STEM.
