Hey, friends!
DS7 is fascinated by origins right now, so I'm trying to start more or less at the beginning of many of the subjects we'll be studying to make a sort of unit study out of the beginning of things. I was hoping to find a fairly child-friendly book on the history/origins of numbers and mathematics, but I'm not finding much.
Does anyone know of any good books on the history of numbers/math for a child reading at the 7th grade level or below? Easier is fine.
I am checking out a number of adult books on the topic (I hope! At least in some tangential way...) and I have some Internet resources from
www.livingmath.net. But I'd love a book or two we could read and discuss.
Thanks for any help you can offer!
