Further Adventures of Penrose, The Mathematical Cat

Further Adventures of Penrose, The Mathematical Cat by Theoni Pappas

Penrose, no ordinary cat, takes kids on adventurous tours of mathematical concepts and characters with his books. Penrose is ready to usher young readers along as he encounters more amazing mathematical ideas in a sequence of adventure tales. At once demystifying and challenging, the book gives readers visuals to consider and things to do as they — along with Penrose — discover mathematical concepts. Penrose tantalizes, teases, and perplexes with his puzzles and games around every corner. Like Pappas's other acclaimed mathematics books for children, these amusing and informative stories are designed to stimulate the imagination and motivate young minds to think about, grasp, and even marvel over concepts they might otherwise shy away from. Penrose continues on his mad cap tour of mathematical ideas:

• Discover the mathematical rep-tiles
• Meet x, the mathematical actor
• Meet Probably
• Discover how 1+1 does not always =2
• Help Sorry Snowflake find its symmetry
• Take on Napier's hot rods
• and MANY more amusing, entertaining and informative tales
