Mystery in the Sea

By: Yasmina Roberts

Learning mathematics is not about memorizing facts, formulas, and definitions. Neither is it about remembering how to solve certain problems. It is about analyzing patterns, understanding them, and applying proper problem-solving methods. It is about developing logical and abstract thinking, disciplining the brain, and sharpening intellectual abilities.

All of this should be started in early childhood by:

Asking children questions instead of giving them answers;
Challenging their brains to find hidden clues to problems;
Awakening their natural curiosity
Helping them open different thinking paths

Many people believe that solving arithmetic problems is easy. This is not surprising since many elementary textbooks are full of repetitive problems that require minimal effort to solve. The result is that kids either feel bored by simple, repetitive problems or overwhelmed by complex problems years later.

The "Into Math with Imagination" series breaks this clich and proves that math can be fun, fascinating, and imaginative.

Mystery in the Sea is the second book of the series. It follows a pair of octopuses that are on a mission to investigate the theft of a diamond. It teaches children some scientific facts about marine creatures and their habits while motivating kids to develop a love of reading and math.
