It's Alive: It's Math Like You've Never Known It Before...and May Never Know It Again

Book Description
It's Alive and It's Alive and Kicking ... are a two-book set of weird, crazy, and bizarre math problems guaranteed to challenge, stimulate, and gross-out math students everywhere. In addition to making math highly motivational, this set of books focuses on teaching students to translate real life problems and questions into mathematical equations. All of the problems are based on known facts. Your students will discover facts about bathtub bacteria, the smell scent of skunks, biting habits of ticks, and many more. Students learn math, science, and a little trivia at the same time! Each book includes more than 50 illustrated, reproducible math problems and space for working each problem. The problems in both books easily integrate into the curriculum of any elementary or middle school math class. Teachers using the books will enjoy the extensive answer key sections, which focus on helping students not just get the correct answer, but formulate a proper equation. This is math the way it ought to be--tough, fun, and a little weird.


About the Author
Asa and David are two computer geeks who are hopeless misfits and have no lives whatsoever. After doing this book, you will come to see why. Asa Kleiman has gone completely insane, but hides it relatively well. David Washington is normal in comparison, which doesn't count for much. He admits he can be extremely annoying, but he denies the frog incident entirely.
