Synopsis
Fold along with Aiyana and discover the magic!
Aiyana finds a long, skinny strip of paper on the ground that looks like a road. As she follows the road, she folds the paper in half, and it becomes a mountain for her to climb. With every fold, she makes a new shape, one that fuels her curiosity in wonderful ways and takes her on a magical journey into the world of fractals. This is a beautiful story about the power of imagination, mathematics, and the world around us. It is a chance for readers of all ages to catch a glimpse of the beauty of math and inspire the joy of their own inner mathematicians.
Reader Reviews
This story so beautifully captures the essence of exploring mathematics: its imagination, its depth, and its surprises, as “simple” ideas unravel to reveal a universe of wonders to embrace. This is a gem of a book!
James Tanton, PhD Research Mathematician Founder of The Global Math Project
Children and adults alike will be mesmerized by this adventure into the world of dragons, boats, clouds, and goats, all of which help show the wonderful geometric patterns created by a perfect mix of storytelling, illustration, strips of paper, and imagination. What an excellent way to introduce children to the thrill of exploring, wondering, and asking questions, that is, to the world of doing mathematics.
