What's Your Angle, Pythagoras?

Good!

Very nicely written.

Nice introduction to pythagoras theorem

Useless

Fab book!

This is an amazing book to teach Pythagoras theory! All 3 of my kids, even the preschooler, are fascinated by it!!

I purchased this book as I always give come historical context to my students before giving a lesson. It helps the children to appreciate what has been discovered and helps them to remember that it does not matter if they don't understand a theorem right away, it took years and years of thoughtful work to Pythagoras to understand it himself :P

I'm a Devotee of Susan Wise Bauer and this was one of the many wonderful choices she recommends in her book The Well Trained Mind. I've read the Story Of The World by Bauer to my kindergartner and she has a huge thirst for history. I would encourage parents of young children not to underestimate the things that they can understand and remember. Be bold! Pass up the potato chip brain food that is Dora the Explorer and introduce your small children to history and science and art and math. You will be amazed and delighted by the pleasure they find in it when you make it regularly available to them. My six-year-old enjoyed the adventures of young Pythagoras because he appears to be about her age, he is very adventurous, and she is very keen on ancient Greece right now. Even if they don't fully comprehend all of the math the first time they read it, this is a great introduction. Get Pythagoras And The Ratios, too!

Très belles illustrations et très belle histoire Conviendra aux jeunes enfants pour illustrer Pythagore, dans l'antiquité et l'histoire grecque. (en anglais)
