Missing Math: A Number Mystery
|
||||||||||||||
| Would you miss math and numbers if they disappeared one day? If you couldn’t count, or add, or measure, or keep score, or tell time… life might get rather difficult. It’ll take a crack detective to solve the mystery of where all the numbers went. Written in verse, here is the story of how the world falls apart without numbers, and the quest to get them back immediately. As an owl judge laments:
