Book ID/图书代码： 03480514B69092
English Summary/英文概要： A journey into the world of numbers, which are over our heads, under our feet, and all around us.
The Numberverse is especially for people who don’ t like maths. If you re one of those people who find maths boring, hard, annoying or pointless then The Numberverse is for you to enjoy.
First we ll look at stuff you find all around you. In the walls, and the bricks. In the arches of the church. In pine cones and petals. Carry on like this and numbers will start jumping out, patterns will appear before your eyes, and everywhere you look the secrets of The Numberverse will open up to you. And we won’t stop there. Would you like to know the history of zero? And what people did before zero was invented? And how people got along without fractions and percentages before they were invented? Do we even need them, anyway?
It s all in The Numberverse. And you will understand every word of it if you can understand what you are reading now. It s true: if you can count, and you are curious... well, then you have all the knowledge you need for the journey. If maths has always been a closed book to you, now is the time to turn the first page.
For primary and secondary teachers of children aged 7 13 years old. The Numberverse addresses the conceptual development of number and shows how to build firm foundations in maths.
Also suitable for parents who want to inspire their children, but perhaps never enjoyed maths themselves.

这本数字化读物尤其适合给那些对数学‘不感冒’的读者阅读。如果您恰巧就是其中一位对数学感到乏味和厌烦的，或是毫无意义的人士之一的话。那么这本数字化会让您发觉这其中的乐趣。
这本书将带领您进入数字的世界，这些阿拉伯人发明的符号在我们的周围无处不在。在墙壁和教堂的拱门和天花板上。在松果和花瓣中。继续仔细寻找你会发现这些数字出现在你的眼前，你会在数字化的秘密打开时发现各种不同的几何图形。
你想不想知道零这个数值的历史由来？
在零出现之前，人们还发现了哪些数字？
在分数和百分比还未被人们发觉之前，他们是如何生活的？
我们是否无法离开这些数字？

A ’How To’ guide with a difference. This book allowed me, as an experienced teacher, a fascinating insight into the world of maths and practical ways to help children truly understand the abstract nature of this subject. There is a glorious mixture of practical ideas, theory and anecdotes making this a very addictive read. I love the way it can be used as a dip-in-and-out planning resource or as an absorbing cover to cover read. It guides teachers gently but firmly towards being a facilitator of learning, showing us how to use enquiry to help pupils along the path of discovery. --Kirstin Fisher, Assistant Head Teacher, Ravenscroft Primary School.
