Book Resource for Math Instructors


Some math instructors have inquired of me concerning a book of math stories or a book of math read-alouds. I think I've found the perfect book. I haven't had a chance to read Number stories of Long Ago by David E. Smith, however, I've been advised that it contains a number of stories that introduce students to complicated math theories by simplifying them through a story telling format. I haven't had the opportunity to review this book yet, and you know I am a mathaphobe, so could someone review this book for me and let me know what you think?
