Nonfiction Monday is hosted today by 100 ScopeNotes.
My selection is "Collecting data in animal investigations" by Diana
Noonan.
I'm always looking
for new ways to make math interesting and this book fits the bill. "Collecting Data in Animal
Investigations" is part of the Capstone Real World Math series. This volume offers readers an opportunity to
follow a fictional fourth grade class as they gather data on animals at a local
park and then present the information in a variety of forms that include diagrams
and graphs.
Noonan's fictional
research poses questions and includes problem solving activities, a glossary,
and the answers to the problems. Colorful
animal photographs brighten the pages.
