This "Teach to Fish" book introduces concepts of math &
baseball to share interesting baseball lore & history, teach
math - and develop ratings of all-time great teams & batters.
The authors devise games, including a baseball simulation game in
the style of Strat-O-Matic & APBA Baseball - complete in this
book. The book's foreword, by William Keat, PhD, professor at Union
College on Carlton Chin: "The predictive power of mathematics ...
along with his joy of competition, underpins his unique
professional journey from predicting material behavior as an
engineering student at MIT, predicting human behavior as ...
nationally known financial analyst, to predicting athletic
performance as author and contributor to the New York Times." "An
athlete is his own right, numbers and statistics are Carlton's
means to a greater understanding of the sports he loves. In my own
experience as a teacher of engineering, I know that the converse is
also true, that sports can be used to inspire a greater
understanding of science and mathematics." Cover illustration:
Julia Chin's rendition of Elysian Fields in Hoboken, NJ, the
birthplace of organized baseball in the 1840s.
Young author Samantha Huang works with her cousin, Julia Chin, in
this book, the first of their "Cousins' Book Club" series. The Nina
Nasturtium stories are very creative in the way they introduce
concepts of science. In particular, Nina has some wild adventures
that allow her to describe concepts of biology - such as the parts
of a cell, the human body, and different muscles - in fun and
interesting ways. This book is written for children aged 8 to 15,
but people of all ages will enjoy the creativity and educational
quality of this book. One of the goals of our "Teach to Fish"
series of books is to keep education and learning "fun."
Young author Julia Chin creates a world in outer space (Planet
Wobniar) with lovable characters (Power Baby and Star Princess)
that young children will adore -- and teaches important life
lessons and skills. This book is written for children aged 6 to 12,
but people of all ages will enjoy the world that the author has
created. The short stories combine moments of humor with adventure
- and lessons in life, in the style of myths and fables. The book
incorporates Susan Kovalik's LIFESKILLS from Ms. Kovalik's Highly
Effective Teaching (HET) Model. Our "Teach to Fish" series of books
aims to teach a way of thinking. We want our readers to "learn to
learn" after enjoying our books. The author and editor are grateful
to Susan Kovalik for her LIFESKILLS (Copyright, Susan Kovalik /
HET). A portion of the book's proceeds goes to
www.PlayItForGood.com and other non-profits.
