This book is an endlessly intriguing guide to better understanding all those really big ideas and numbers children come across on a regular basis. It has found clever devices to scale down everything from timelines (the history of Earth compressed into one year), to size differences (the planets shown as different types of balls). By simply reducing everything to the human scale, he has made the incomprehensible easier to grasp, and therefore more meaningful.

This book follows the life span of two numbers born at the same time as a baby girl named Keeya. The numbers represent baby Keeya’s height and weight. It follows their journey through data input and storage, data quality, data pipeline work, data analysis and use cases. This book humanizes the lifecycle of a data tuple in a way that even my 4 year old understood and enjoyed. It’s a great story that makes data relatable to children in a unique way.

In this engaging and inspiring biography, a groundbreaking but relatively unknown woman finally gets her due as one of the most influential mathematicians of the twentieth century.
Emmy Noether is not pretty, quiet, good at housework or eager to marry — all the things a German girl is expected to be in her time. What she is, though, is a genius at math. When she grows up, she finds a way to first study math at a university (by sitting in, not actually enrolling) and then to teach it (by doing so for free). She also manages to do her own research into some of the most pressing math and physics problems of the day. And though she doesn’t get much credit during her lifetime, her discoveries continue to influence how we understand the world today.

If someone handed you a big bowl of jelly beans, how would you figure out how many there are? You could count them, one by one―or you could estimate. Do you see more than five jelly beans? Less than a million?
We use estimation in Math when the exact answer to a problem is not required. The said problem can be resolved with an approximately realistic value. Estimating also helps us get the answer to a calculation faster.
