Impressive statistics are thrown at us every day - the cost of health care; the size of an earthquake; the distance to the nearest star; the number of giraffes in the world. We know all these numbers are important - some more than others - and it's vaguely unsettling when we don't really have a clear sense of how remarkable or how ordinary they are. How do we work out what these figures actually mean? Are they significant, should we be worried, or excited, or impressed? How big is big, how small is small? With this entertaining and engaging book, help is at hand. Andrew Elliott gives us the tips and tools to make sense of numbers, to get a sense of proportion, to decipher what matters. It is a celebration of a numerate way of understanding the world. It shows how number skills help us to understand the everyday world close at hand, and how the same skills can be stretched to demystify the bigger numbers that we find in the wider contexts of science, politics, and the universe. Entertaining, full of practical examples, and memorable concepts, Is That A Big Number? renews our relationship with figures. If numbers are the musical notes with which the symphony of the universe is written, and you're struggling to hear the tune, then this is the book to get you humming again.

From cells in our bodies to measuring the universe, big numbers are everywhere We all know that numbers go on forever, that you could spend your life counting and never reach the end of the line, so there can’t be such a thing as a ‘biggest number’. Or can there? To find out, David Darling and Agnijo Banerjee embark on an epic quest, revealing the answers to questions like: are there more grains of sand on Earth or stars in the universe? Is there enough paper on Earth to write out the digits of a googolplex? And what is a googolplex? Then things get serious. Enter the strange realm between the finite and the infinite, and float through a universe where the rules we cling to no longer apply. Encounter the highest number computable and infinite kinds of infinity. At every turn, a cast of wild and wonderful characters threatens the status quo with their ideas, and each time the numbers get larger.

Have You Ever Wondered What One Million Looks Like? In simple charts of individual 'lozenge shapes', one after the other, this book will show you just how big one million actually is. Indeed, in its very heft and bulk, this volume also conveys this information. But my aim is higher still. Though the title highlights 1,000,000, this work also details all the other numbers it contains. Thus, you can also see what the number 238,855 looks like, or 666 or even 7. This book is also a 'life list' having spaces for you to write in your thoughts about these or other numbers. You could, perhaps, note in the fill-in line for 238,855 that this is the average distance in miles from the Earth to the Moon, or cast aspersions on 'evil old' 666, or just give some love to Lucky Number 7. A Special Section gives a close-up to the numbers of daily living. There are also additional charts for numbers bigger than the millions and others smaller than the number 1. One million may not be the biggest of the big numbers, but it is their gateway! This book is where you start. So, welcome to The Visible One Million. Get into a personal relationship with the numbers around you and the stories they tell.

What, how and why? If you don′t really understand the content of the primary mathematics curriculum, how can you teach it? This beautiful full colour book is here to help. It covers all you need to know to be an effective teacher of primary mathematics. It shows you how to explore number, shape and pattern with the children you teach. It examines what we mean by ′mastery of mathematics′ and reviews what we can learn from Asian maths teaching methods. It helps you to see how areas of mathematics fit together and how you can support children to build their own understanding of the subject. This book goes beyond showing you how to teach. It shows you that process is as important as product. That getting it wrong can be as useful as getting it right and that children can′t really learn the what without understanding the why.

A very lively but informative treatment of the concept of big numbers, expressed in quantities of peas. The book begins with a single pea on a plate and progresses from 1 to 10 to 100 to 1000 all the way to a quadrillion (which form a small mountain that covers the town in which the original lone pea sat on a plate). Children will love the visual playfulness of the ever-growing quantity of peas and the sidecomments they generate. The final page shares the authors' various calculations with the reader.
