This book answers the questions, "Why do I have to do math?" and "When will I ever use it?". Your students will learn how mathematics affects them every day as they tackle questions such as: What kind of ball rolls downhill the fastest?

Students will eagerly dive into these 30 practical and exciting investigations that sharpen their reasoning powers, reveal their creativity, and help them apply math concepts-all while having FUN!
