Introducing an off-beat guide to math from award-winning author and illustrator David Macaulay.

Math is all around you…if you look closely enough! From computer games to bridges, shopping malls to game shows, mathematics truly is everywhere. David Macauley’s terrific troupe of curious mammoths will lead you through the basics of math, including numbers, calculation, geometry, measurement and so much more in this highly original guide to math for kids aged 8+.

In Matemáticas a lo grande (Mammoth Math), not only will you learn the essential principles of math, you’ll enjoy learning about them too! From start to finish, the mammoths are your guide as they seek to understand the math!
These intrepid demonstrators will go to incredible lengths to educate and entertain, as they wrestle with adding or subtracting numbers, measuring angles, creating a pie chart, solving equations, and much more.

Discover math as you’ve never known it before, with:

- Fun-filled illustrations show Macaulay’s mammoths exploring mathematical ideas demonstrating key mathematical principles in unusual and amusing ways.
- An action-packed alternative to dry, unappealing math textbooks.
- Supporting panels contain diagrams and extra information to aid understanding.
- The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a different branch of math

Join the math journey today! Solving the problem is only one mammoth ride away!
We believe in the power of discovery. That's why we create books for everyone that explore ideas and nurture curiosity about the world we live in.
 
From first words to the Big Bang, from the wonders of nature to city adventures, you will find expert knowledge, hours of fun and endless inspiration in the pages of our books.
