Ever wondered how 7-UP got its name, or what you would measure in oktas? Discover the answers in 'Numbers: Facts, Figures and Fiction'. This book is about numbers, and particularly about a few of the counting numbers. The numbers from zero to 156 each get an entry, with a briefer mention for all the numbers up to a thousand, and some interesting facts about a few very large numbers. Full of mathematical and cultural facts, tantalising problems and anecdotes, 'Numbers' provides masses of ideas for teaching, project work, or displays, as well as cross-curricular ideas. It makes a useful library resource for pupils aged 7-11.

Format:Paperback
This book is excellent. It interests the reader in numbers. You can be between 5 and 95 to enjoy it. The facts vary from the useful to the unhelpful, the level of mathematics from basic to A level. All school libraries should have a copy. All primary teachers should use the facts from 1-31 to give an interest to the date. All secondary teachers should use it to excite students in the relevance of mathematics and how it is the science of patterns.
Best bit - pentagonal bolts in the USA.

Format:Paperback
This is a superb aid to mathematics teachers who wish to enthuse and enthrall their students and for all those who wish to have a reference book about number which is easy on the eye, easy to understand buut never light-weight, and always entertaining.
This book which had a period out of print is extremely well illustrated with photos and diagrams. It usually has two full A4 pages on every number up to 13, a page on the numbers from 14 to 42 and then a generous paragraph on every number from 43 to 200.
There is then a fact on every number from 201 to 999; and then information on a few large numbers such as 666, 1000 and 1729.
This is a most attractive and informative book.

Not a bad little read. Not very taxing on the mathematical side of the brain. I did find the size of the book quite uncomfortable to hold due to A4 format. Fun book to read and some fascinating facts. Not a serious read. Maybe it's not written that way?
