Synopsis

The book takes a problem-solving approach to learning elementary school mathematics and develops concepts by considering examples to uncover patterns. It includes both standard and non-standard problems and exercises, some of which are challenging while others are mainly for reinforcement.

The book is written in a relaxed style and includes amusing quotations as well as brief biographies and fun facts about the people who made these quotes. Also included are interesting and surprising applications of mathematics.
