A Mathematical Thriller

Who would have thought that a kids book based on mathematics would be enjoyable?

The "Kung Fu Puzzle", by Thielbar and Helmer, is truly a delight.Centred around a Kung Fu studio operated by Sizu Faiza and hid curious students, the Manga Math Mystery series uses simple mathematical principles to help unravel mysteries.In "Kung Fu", time is the tool, and properly applied to a large house, it creates a Kung Fu Studio laden with secrets.Thielbar teaches math concepts such as ratios, comparison, and time in an entertaining manner.

Artwise, this book falls into the manga style enjoyed by millions worldwide that has seen North American penetration into Sabrina and Salem (Archie Comics).It is a competent art job that really helps this book along.

The remaining three books are equally good, and as a University Math major, I highly recommend these for middle grade students.

Awesome
This is an early reader that sneaks in some graphing to introduce the math concept -- you see different types of graphs and how data is organized.The story is cute -- a kid goes to a family reunion and expects to be bored, but ends up making graphs about all the relatives.It does exactly what it says it's going to do.Readable and enjoyable.

Good book, flawed graph
This is a fun book -- my 5- and 7-year olds love it. It does a great job of telling an engaging story while teaching about graphs and promoting math as fun. But the one of the bar charts is wrong -- I guess the editors of this series could use some math help themselves. ... Read more
