Kjartan has also written a book entitled Everyday Maths for Grown-Ups A recommendation of the series by Scientific American includes a quote from a Stanford engineer named Stacy F. Bennet, who described the series as "very humorous and engaging introductions to such topics as algebra, geometry and probability". It is a truly addictive reading book, and was leapt on and devoured by my children. The book is full of awful jokes, fascinating facts, real murders and yes, the maths is good too. This is a brilliant book.

Sure, you say, anyone can make history hysterical, or spelling silly. It doesn't take much effort to make chemistry comical or Latin laughable. It's nothing to make grammar goofy, astronomy amusing, or reading ridiculous. Even on a bad day, you can make physics pleasant, but make math fun? There just isn't anything merry about math, frivolous about fractions, delightful about division, or absurd about algebra. It would be easier to make scrubbing the toilet the social highlight of the week! Well, guess what - you're wrong and we have the books to prove it! If you're the kind of person who likes awful puns, sneaky tricks, outlandish names, fascinating facts, amusing illustrations and lots of games, puzzles and silly jokes, then the Murderous Maths series is for you. Murderous Maths Guaranteed to Mash Your Mind: More Muderous Maths book has the author's personal promise that it is "Guaranteed to contain no nasty exercises and no boring sums! As the Brits would say, these books are simply "brilliant. Even though these books are a lot of fun, they actually do cover a lot of math but in such an enjoyable way your kids will hardly notice. We thank the author, Kjartan Poskitt, for giving us permission to use some of his descriptions of the books. See our special set of Murderous Maths books at the bottom of this page. I thought that Murderous Maths was a great book. It is short, but packed with information. Then, Murderous Maths moves on to discuss things like time, short cuts for problems, Roman numerals, calculators, time, clocks, right angles, the invention of nothing, mathematicians, and the magic square. Eventually the author talks a little bit about algebra and why it is useful. What I think I liked the best was the way the author put in little humorous anecdotes so as to keep your interest.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Welcome to the new Scholastic Children’s Books catalogue for 2015. Here at Scholastic, we have a simple idea at the heart of everything we do. We love kids! And we hope that we know kids better than anyone. Real kids: funny, silly, sometimes tired and grumpy, hugely curious, hugely imaginative. We are very proud that Scholastic’s 2015 list has the biggest kid appeal yet. Across the country, little kids snuggling up want bedtime with Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. The Scarecrows’ Wedding is their beautiful, pastoral picture book: an instant classic. Mermaid by TV presenter Cerrie Burnell will be another big hit, a sparkling picture book all about friendship and underwater adventure. And for bedtime fun, Alex T. Smith gives a big twist to a classic fairy tale, with wild animals and doughnuts in Little Red and the Very Hungry Lion. What about big brothers and sisters? There’s not a kid aged 7 and up who doesn’t love Tom Gates. As our favourite review says, ”Get this book, it is amazing! You would be so unlucky not to it’s extremely funny and smart.” In 2015 we have Yes No Maybe coming from Tom’s multi-talented creator, Liz Pichon. We’ve also acquired a debut by two of the funniest guys around, Sam & Mark. Jokes and pranks abound in The Adventures of Long Arm. Every kid knows that Captain Underpants is funnier than homework, so we have a brand-new Captain Underpants book for laughing your head off before spellings. For decades now, Scholastic has been publishing the most imaginative books for tweens and young adults.

    CUT-THROAT CELTS PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Terry Deary,Martin Brown | 144 pages | 04 Aug 2016 | Scholastic | 9781407165400 | English | London, United Kingdom Cut-Throat Celts PDF Book Book series List of books. Nothing was written about the Celts by the Celts as no one knew how to read or write. Disambiguation page providing links to topics that could be referred to by the same search term This disambiguation page lists articles associated with the title Cut-throat. Thanks for telling us about the problem. Celtic Designs Across Europe, the Celts have been credited with many artistic innovations, including intricate stone carving and fine metalworking. I still learned a thing or two from reading it. Considering Deary had the unenviable task of teaching me about Celts when I'd rather be learning about Thor and Valkyries, he pulled a blinder - I'm pretty sure I could read a Horrible Histories book about the history of agriculture and find it I was always fascinated by history as a kid, and so the Horrible Histories series held me enchanted for a good half- decade. John Scott rated it really liked it Apr 15, Within the first few lines, I was hooked and wanted to read to the end. I have long been interested in this series of books published in the UK. Of course it's superficial in adult terms but it does go a little into how much of what is "known" was written by the enemies of the Celts, particularly the Romans and is therefore possibly unreliable except when backed by other evidence.

As a school, we want to encourage all of our students to develop their academic interests more widely. Students who read up on and extend their knowledge of a favourite topic, who watch a related documentary, who visit a relevant exhibition or who explore good quality academic websites are all engaging in the super curriculum. These types of activity help to shape our students into interested and interesting young people and often spark a long term interest in or love of a particular subject. Top universities also seek to confirm a prospective student’s academic curiosity, genuine interest in and ongoing commitment to his or her subject through evidence of wider academic reading, personal exploration and independent research.
