âLetâs play math!â
In the theme of recess, where a treasure chest of balls, ropes, and toys would be kept for children to play with, this book holds a deep and imaginative collection of fun mathematical ideas, puzzles, and problems. Written for anyone interested in or actively engaged in schoolsâparents, teachers, administrators, school board membersâMath Recess by Sunil Singh and Chris Brownell shows math as a playful, fun, and wonderfully human activity that everyone can enjoy⦠for a lifetime!
âMath Recess is a breathless ride!â âKimberly Morrow-Leong, NCSM 2018 program chair, author of Mathematize It!
âI absolutely adore this book. With clarity, power, and exuberance, Chris and Sunil spell out and make concrete what it means to play.â âJames Tanton, PhD, founder of the Global Math Project
âHereâs to the dabblers. The tinkerers. The fantasizers. The curious ones who believe math education can and should be about play. Hereâs to the humanity of friendships that lead to mathematical love. Sunil Singh and Christopher S. Brownell are bold. Go, be bold with them. All are welcome.â âMary Kemper, president of the Texas Association of Supervisors of Mathematics
âThrough rich storytelling and powerful examples, Singh and Brownell make the clear case for upending math education as we know it and replacing it with an ideology we can all embrace: Mathematics is and can be deeply learned through play.â âDenis Sheeran, author, Instant Relevance and Hacking Math
âDisruption begins with âRe.â Rather than trying to fix a broken system, it is time to reimagine a new one, and Math Recess completely satisfies my appetite for destruction.â âBrian Aspinall, educator, author of Code Breaker and Block Breaker
