1.		The Mathematics Calendar 2010 from Wide World Publishing, Tetra Price: $6.38 Customer Review: I've been getting the Mathematics calendar for years. I use it along with few colleages to brush up and tease each other. It's worth a lot more than any other calendar and a bit challenging for those of us long away from school.

2.		The Adventures of Penrose the Mathematical Cat from Wide World Publishing, Tetra Price: $7.38 Customer Review: I was always trying to find some good math books that promote interests in math. I finally ended up with this one. My 9 years old daughter like it. This is the only math book that she will read without being asked for. The book has wide variety of topics. The kids can start with simpler topics, and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		Fractals, Googols, and Other Mathematical Tales from Wide World Publishing, Tetra Price: $8.54 Customer Review: I'm not sure the intended audience of this book. The pictures are too minimal for early elementary, with content far above them. The grades for whom the content is appropriate would probably find the stories unappealing. They didn't catch my interest either. To its credit, the book has some... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		Math Talk: Mathematical Ideas in Poems for Two Voices from Wide World Publishing, Tetra Price: $4.57 Customer Review: This book is ok but not great. It's more of an idea starter, 'get you thinking', type of book. I agree with the other reviewers that, as a teacher, you can read a poem or two in class to get kids started on their own two voice math poems but don't rely on it for correct math or to be a resource for... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		Further Adventures of Penrose the Mathematical Cat from Wide World Publishing, Tetra Price: $6.21 Customer Review: Definitely a "must have" for parents of high ability children who need an engaging and creative approach to math concepts. My daughter (8 yr.) simply will not complete worksheets, workbooks, or any other repetitive math drill, but she certainly does love a good cat story! For Christmas she received... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		The Joy of Mathematics: Discovering Mathematics All Around You from Wide World Publishing, Tetra Price: $4.35 Customer Review: My appreciation for Theoni Pappas is enormous as for an observer and admirer of the world around her and mathematician. These factors cannot be separated, as at first you have to do more than just look around, but you have to have a beautiful mind of a child and be an intellectualist at the same... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		More Joy of Mathematics: Exploring Mathematics All Around You from Wide World Publishing/Tetra Price: $4.95 Customer Review: Many have sadly been led to believe that math is a cold, lifeless subject limited only to homework assignments and balancing your checkbook. Nothing could be further from the truth, and Pappas books show this. Her "More Joy of Mathematics" shows a vast amount of instances of where math shows up,... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		Math-A-Day: A Book of Days for Your Mathematical Year from Wide World Publishing, Tetra Price: $6.90 Customer Review: This book does a good job of keeping to ol' noodle from turning into mush. But.... Just a few days ago I was somewhat frustrated by it. When checking my answers I was led to believe that I was wrong, but after checking and rechecking and writing a program treverse the curve (Dec 21) I found that... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		Mathematical Scandals from Wide World Publishing, Tetra Price: $5.48 Customer Review: I did not read this book, but gave this as a gift to a friend/ former senior math lecturer for his birthday. He loved it very much and shared it with other department members (professors, lecturers, etc.), who also enjoyed reading this very much. Very recommended!
