BOOK: Previous Owner Markings; Repaired; Corners, Spine, Boards Bumped; Heavy Shelf Rub to Boards; Spine Slightly Cocked; Edges Heavily Soiled; Slight Yellowing Due to Age. DUST JACKET: None, As Issued. COVER DESIGN: Just as man in different parts of the world speaks different languages, he uses different symbols for numbers. The ten symbols on the cover of this book are some of the symbols that man has used for the number "five". CONTENTS: Chapter 1 Number and Numeral; Chapter 2 Roman Numerals; Chapter 3 Sets and Subsets; Chapter 4 Geometric Planes; Chapter 5 Area; Chapter 6 Volume; Chapter 7 Positive and Negative Numbers; Year-End Test; Extra Practice (Sets 1-60); Extra Exercises (Sets 1-27); Extra Problems (Sets 1-7); Marginal Exercises; Index. EXCERPT: PREFACE The exploration of space, the increasing use of computers, and the extension of mathematics into every field of endeavour demand a greater understanding of the basic concepts and principles of mathematics than ever before. Thus the author's main objective in Discovering Modern Mathematics is to provide every pupil with a foundation of meaningful and practical mathematics. Many topics have been introduced using traditional approaches and practices; many have been re-interpreted in the terms of modern mathematical thinking. Some of the new topics introduced include number sentences, inequalities, the number line, and elementary geometric ideas. Throughout, the authors have attempted to select content that is necessary and appropriate for children at this grade level. The authors hope that the material selected will stimulate the interest of the pupils and enable them to apply mathematical principles with greater understanding. The needs of individual pupils have been carefully considered. Identification symbols indicate the reteaching material and extra practice for specific topics. Problem sets include "A" problems for all pupils and "B" problems requiring more thought and understanding for solution by pupils with above-average ability. Each chapter is concluded with tests of understanding, computational skills, and problem-solving ability. Also provided at the back of the book are extra sets of computational exercises, activities, and problems. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. …

Shopbeschreibung

For a good portion of the 1990's, our family was interested in the idea of entering the used book business. We are all avid readers, book lovers, and book collectors who cannot pass a bookstore without popping in. Family trips to the library and our local used bookstore were a regularity while growing up. With each of us having interests in different genres (with a little overlapping here and there), we cover a lot of bases. The thought of having a store of our own was appealing, and the hunt was on - both for stock and a location. We thought to combine under one roof many different things that would appeal to readers and book lovers. Not only used books, but some new items as well. Bookmarks (to ward off dog-eared pages), bookends (to keep those out-of-control collections under control), bookplates (to label books on the "Can I borrow that?" circuit to ensure that they always found their way home), book repair tape (to lend a helping hand to collectors with tattered favourites in their collections), and so on. With an interest in book-themed knick knacks as well, we had two sides to our would-be business: books and knick-knacks. Hence the business was born. In the early part of 1998 we bought a commercial property, and in the summer we first opened our doors in a storefront in Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada. With start-up stock consisting of a garage full of books hand-picked for just such a venture that we purchased from someone who changed their plans, we were in business. For several years we operated in this storefront, growing our business and learning about the industry and the backbone of it - the customers. It was very satisfying to be present at the end of someone's book quest, as we were quite often. Many a time we heard shouts of joy from somewhere in the shop as customers happened upon just what they'd been looking for (oftentimes for quite a while). At other times, people would approach us with bits and pieces of information that they remembered from long ago favourites in hopes that we could at least help them come up with an author or title to help in their search, which we often times did, with the book in hand. And when we couldn't come up with anything on our own, we would pick the brains of other customers in conversation, or turn to the internet for help for them. For us, quality and selection of stock go hand-in-hand with customer service. One isn't much good without the other. But times, people, places, and lives change and after several years in our storefront we made a change of our own - in 2004 we relocated to the internet. Now a home-based business in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, we are gradually bringing our inventory online here. We carry used paperbacks, hardbacks, and magazines for both adults and children. We have thousands upon thousands of books that are not yet listed for sale on the internet, but are gradually making their way there.…
