Description

Dive into Life of Fred: Edgewood, the fifth adventure in the Life of Fred Elementary series, ideal for learners from Grades 1-4 who are ready to explore math in the context of real-life scenarios. Fred Gauss, a prodigious six-year-old math professor, leads students through a world where math is not just numbers on a page but a fundamental part of life's curious questions and captivating stories.

In Edgewood, readers will encounter six-page chapters filled with Fred�s humorous and unlikely escapades, each concluding with a Your Turn to Play section. These thought-provoking questions are meant for young learners to tackle, with answers conveniently provided on the following page to encourage self-assessment and learning confidence.

This volume delves into a medley of concepts such as geometry, exploring shapes like trapezoids and parallelograms, alongside more advanced notions like functions and logarithms. It's not all numbers and theories; students will also touch on language arts topics, like different kinds of sentences and dangling participles, enriching their learning experience beyond mathematics.

Edgewood promises a blend of instruction and entertainment, presenting over a hundred pages of rich, narrative-driven math instruction. Bound in a durable hardcover with Smyth-sewn binding, this non-consumable textbook invites students to jot down their answers on separate paper, making it a sustainable choice for families or classrooms.

This book is a testament to the idea that math can be as engaging as it is informative, perfect for those seeking an inventive approach to education that provokes both thought and laughter.
