Makes kids think.

I had used this book at the elementary level before and wanted my own copy to use at the middle school level. I asked my students what a day would be like with no math, and of course they thought it would be great. After sharing the book with them, (kids of all ages love to be read to)they had a different appreciation for how math is used in there everyday life. One student say, "I now understand your 'Real life is a Math problem' pin you wear every day."

No Math? No Book?

Apparently, the demand for this book outweighs the production...clearly a mathematical quandry. Hopefully, the publisher/author can find a way to both make a profit AND meet the needs of every mathematics teacher who desires to use this book for instructional purposes.

A Day with no Math

I have trouble understanding why this book is so difficult to find. It is the most wonderful book I have found that help children to fall in love with math. I have used it in many different grades, and have always had great sucess with it. It truly speaks to the heart of kids and teacher alike.

Great book for teachers!!

I have used this book many times with different classes. It really gets children to think about what it would actually be like if there was no math. This is a perfect book for all those students who wonder where in the world are they ever going to use math.

The best children's math book!

I'm going into ninth grade. I was required to read this book in 2nd grade, and it still makes an impact on me. Imagine a day without math!!! We couldn't survive without numbers. How would we tell time, eat breakfast, go to work, or even relax? Everything in our society revolves around numbers. Try reading this if you hate math, and you will be surprised at how much math you really know.......I know I was.Melody
