More than 50 activities connected to mathematical concepts—geometry, fractals, and tangrams, among others—are explored through 37 “labs” that feature step-by-step instructions and photographs. The ...

These labs simplify the real-life conditions that affect structures (shapes), in order to illustrate key concepts. In the real world, many variables affect the strength and stability of any give shape ...

It’s not often parents witness their children racking their brains on a mathematics problem over the summer — especially in Cynthia Brooks’ case. “It’s pretty hard to keep them engaged,” the Manheim ...
