In this follow-up to MATH FOR ALL SEASONS, Greg Tang underscores the importance of four basic rules in problem-solving.

My son who is in kindergarten loves to look at the pictures, and challenges himself to add the objects. We have lots of fun! Rating: - "Math Appeal" Appeals To Kids!One of my favourite books to read to my students is The Grapes of Math by Greg Tang. And now along with it, is Math Appeal, the sequel. Once again, what I love best about Tang's books is that it provides strategies for students and it shows them that thinking does not need to be linear -- that thinking outside the box shows creativity.
