What's the Point of Math? [DK] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. What's the Point of Math? Review: I'm in love with this book - I got this for homeschooling. This book really answers the age old question, and it does it in a way that is entertaining and captivating. Great illustrations; great explanations and examples...for something that is technically a reference book, it's really a page-turner. Seriously, I enjoyed it so much that I have read it cover to cover just because it never stopped being interesting. There's a whole line of these "What's the point of" books, and I intend to get every single one of them. Review: Good book! - I picked this book up for my 5-year-old. He has a talent/aptitude for numbers and math, but has only started reading... so this is advanced for him. But I figured that numbers and math aren't just a fun game to play... numbers and math are a language and tool that can be used to do some really big and important things! I do have to help him out reading it at the moment. But it's a very nice book, and I think that, in not-too-far into the future, he'll be able to read and enjoy it more.

Great to Connect Kids with Importance of Math
I’ve been using this in my classroom to help connect kids to the importance of math outside the classroom. My kids enjoy the different things inside the book and have built a bigger interest in math as a result. Great purchase.

Love it!
I’m a 6th grade teacher and find this book very fascinating. It’s got so many mathematical and historical connections that make it perfect for 6th grade math and social studies. We study the ancient civilizations.
