Math Games and Activities from Around the World

Math Games and Activities from Around the World by Claudia Zaslavsky

More than 70 math games, puzzles, and projects from all over the world are included in this delightful book for kids. Math Games and Activities from Around the World is both an enrichment book and a multicultural book in one! Math games, puzzles, and projects from all over the world which utilize geometry, probability, analysis skills, and logic to solve problems while learning about other cultures. Did you know ancient Egyptians played a version of Tic-Tac-Toe? School-agers will learn that math is everywhere, from the geometry reflected in buildings to the border patterns of Eskimo parkas. Activities include building a model pyramid, testing the golden ratio of the Parthenon, and working African network puzzles. You will also find Native American patterning, Symmetry from Japan, Geometry from Kenya, Probability games from Mexico and Hawaii, and board games anywhere from China, Korea, and New Zealand... and lots more!

We also have More Math Games and Activities from Around the World, the second book in this series, available.
