Description

The Basher formula of concise bits of high-interest text combined with simple & quirky illustrations now has been extended to a STEM series! Math is about more than numbers. Using 40 “personalities" or characters, the young reader will learn a variety of functions, key vocabulary, and even try some math on their own. For example, imagine your bedroom is L-shaped, with a rectangle measuring roughly 6.5' x 10' (or 2x3m) plus the original square. What's the total floor area now? You can use a calculator to figure it out. This exercise comes after learners read about how to figure area.

Publisher's Description of Basher STEM Junior: Math

One of four books in an exciting STEM series for younger children, STEM Junior: Math covers 40 topics from the core subjects of math. Each topic is introduced as a personality who has plenty to say on the subject, while a STEM Junior character appears on each spread to introduce the big idea behind each topic. Combined with "jargon buster" panels and additional information presented in bitesize boxes, over 100 of Simon Basher's trademark illustrations bring fun, appeal, and humor to the topics. Basher's Stem Junior: Math will help give 7- to 9-year.
