Math Detectives: Finding Fun in Numbers

I am a 6th grade teacher, as well as, an adjunct teacher at the university level in the area of mathematics. I was looking for a book to use in my classroom, as well as recommend to my future teachers. Math Detectives is a perfect fit for any classroom. The projects and activities in this book can be adapted for any grade level K-6 and teach children number sense that is effective in all areas of mathematics. My 6th graders especially liked "Double the Folds", "Quick Reactions" and "The Biggest Fist". Each of these activities lend themselves to graphing and interactive extension activities. Great resource!
