The Museum of Mysteries by David Glover employs numbers in
some of their many uses: decimals, even and odd, factors, fractions, multiples,
prime numbers, Roman numerals, and percentages as clues to this mystery
adventure.
Only you can stop the burglars who are determined to steal the
Golden Hoard, the greatest of all ancient treasures. Your understanding of
numbers in their various forms and uses will determine your success in deciphering the clues, collecting the mysterious objects, and solving the final
puzzle. Solve each puzzle correctly, and the reader moves
forward through the story. Make a
mistake, and the reader will find an explanation of what probably went wrong
before being sent back to try again.
This is one in the Math Quest series of books designed to
encourage and develop math skills in an entertaining format. Colorful
illustrations paired with a lively text draws the reader into the story. A
glossary of Calculation Words explains terms and demonstrates methods to
provide support for readers on a variety of topics from addition to
percentages.
Not every reader will
become a math whiz, but they will discover that math can be fun even when it's
also a challenge which is a great confidence booster for reluctant
mathematicians.
