Terrific teacher resource

I love this teacher resource book! I have never been especially fond of math so for me to love this math resource book is a strong testament to its interest level and the way the author can weave math into so many other subject areas. The book is jammed with interesting facts that lead to interesting mathematical investigations. It helps both my students and me see math in everyday experiences. There is also a thorough biliography with references for more materials.
