Alice in Numberland: A Surreal Journey Through Math and Geometry (English Edition)

Description

Fall down the Equation Hole with Alice and discover a world where numbers dance, shapes speak, and logic throws a tea party. When a curious afternoon turns strange, Alice tumbles into Numberland, a surreal realm built from geometry, patterns, and puzzles. She meets the Ruler Queen, the Protractor Rabbit, March Addition, Mad Subtraction, and a Theorem Magician whose chalk dust turns symbols into butterflies. From the Spiral of Shapes to the Garden of Proofs, each chapter challenges her to measure angles, balance scales, decode the Shakespearean Bridge, and solve riddles of square roots.Along the way, Alice learns symmetry, reflection, infinity, and the beauty of proof while drawing, reasoning, and writing her own mathematical stories. With activities woven into every adventure, readers in grades 6 to 9 explore area and perimeter, fractals, logic puzzles, and the language of equations without ever leaving the wonder.Part I leads Alice down the Equation Hole through talking angles and mirror lessons. Part II opens the Gates of Reason to square scholars, a cathedral of calculation, and a test of truth, lies, and both. A storybook journey where art, language, and numeric logic twine together, Numberland turns mathematics into an adventure and shows that understanding begins with imagination. Read more
