Review 'As a bilingual mathematics educator, it is refreshing to discover a resource that is both mathematically rich and of such good quality. I appreciate the way these short stories are displayed in both English and Spanishit is very clear that careful attention was paid to both the language and the mathematics. This book is an excellent addition to any bilingual mathematics program!' (Marta Civil, Ph.D., Roy F. Graesser Chair, Department of Mathematics, University of Arizona)'I wish this book had existed while I was still teaching. This is one of the few books that allows readers to grasp difficult math concepts and learn another language. It is an enjoyable and enlightening read. I highly recommend it!'Ojal este libro hubiera existido mientras yo estaba enseando. ste es uno de los pocos libros que le permite a los lectores entender conceptos matemticos difciles y aprender otro idioma. Es una lectura entretenida e iluminadora. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente. (Jos N. Pecina, Ph.D., Retired Mathematics Professor, The University of Texas Pan-American)Today I bring you a review of a book that is as curious as it is useful. A book for the youngest in the home, but also appropriate for grown-ups that want to play with math: One Minute Mysteries: Short Mysteries You Solve With Math!It is a book with a double purpose: playful and educational. Playful because it deals with games, a type of riddle that we must solve with the help, that is, of math. And educational in a double sense: because they must be resolved, as I said, with the help of math and because it is a bilingual book: we find both the problem and the answer in English and Spanish. Each one should read the language that they prefer, although, that is, I recommend trying to read it in only in English, and if we don't understand something, then read the Spanish versionIt is an American book, made by math teachers thinking of children from 10 to 12 years old (which is to say from fourth place to sixth of primary and first of the ESO but we can also extend it to other grades of the Spanish ESO (who, clearly, will have covered more material since they are already working with equations, polynomials, etc., but can benefit from reviewing these problems)The best way to learn is playing and experimenting. You need not go any further than the books used in Early Childhood and first grade of primary school that look more like activity and game books than textbooks. But it is true that as they grow, subject matters get more complicated and books become less playful and more cumbersome. However, we can continue playing our whole lives, with activities that are appropriate to our age.Most of us like mysteries, puzzles. This book is based on that innate curiosity so that, through small mysteries that are really mathematical problems, math becomes fun, light and easy for children.'One Minute Mysteries' is a paperback book, slightly larger than a pocket. It has 224 pages and 65 problems. These are written by math teachers from the United States in accordance to their standards but, they are more or less the same things that have been taught to Spanish children in the targeted age group.It is divided into several sections:- Math at home- Math outside- Math at play- Math every day- Science bonus sectionFurther, there is a Glossary that explains words that could be somewhat more difficult, (algebra, hypothenuse, etc...) an index and a conversion table (inch, ounce, yard...)There are 10 problems within each sectionI will tell you what the problems are like so that you can have an idea: On the top part of the left side page is the title of a problem (for example 'Heavy Toll') and then the problem is presented in English. On the page on the right, the same problem in Spanish, title included. In both cases, at the end of the page there is a Stop signal that indicates 'Think 'or 'Piense.' We turn the page and we see the answer and the explanation: in English to the left, Spanish to the right, accompanied by a picture in black-and-white that is related to the topic. Just as on the pages in which the problem is presented there is a Stop sign, in the ones in which the problem is solved there is a lightbulb. There's no way to get lost.In this problem, 'Heavy Toll,' we have a conversation between a father and his daughter. He has just received notification of a traffic fine. It seems that in American highways, when you enter the highway the entry time is registered and, upon exiting, the exit time and time that has passed is checked. The girl reads the notification and says that it is correct, that they were driving over the speed limit. The father asks her how she knows that. That is the problem. The solution, explained in the following page, calculates the miles driven and the time that it took to travel those miles to find the speed at which the car was traveling.I think you can get a pretty good idea of what the problems are like. They are of a practical type, the type that we could run into in our everyday lives, requiring us to think a little bit but not especially difficult to do.I must comment that the Spanish is South American Spanish so there might be a word here or there that might appear strange but whose meaning we should have no difficulty understanding such as 'car,' 'drive,' etc. And some measurements use the American system (in this problem, for example, the distance is measured in miles). It's not an issue because the problems can still be solved but also, since at the end of the book we have a conversion table, we can take advantage of that to convert to our metric system and have two in one.In case you're interested, the book is available for sale on Amazon, both in digital and paper versions (although I recommend the paper version because of the price (12.14 for the paper version, 9.11 for the Ebook) and because for these types of things for children I always prefer the paper versions) and it took me a little bit over a week to receive. At the end I include the purchasing linksI definitely love this book. It is very educational, it helps you lose your fear of math by playing with them, and it will be great for reviewing this summer//Hoy os traigo la resea de un libro tan curioso como til. Un libro para los ms jvenes de la casa pero tambin apto para adultos que quieran jugar con las matemticas One minute Mysteries. Misterios cortos que resuelves con matemticas' Es un libro con una finalidad doble: ldica y educative Ldica porque se trata de juegos, una especie de acertijos que debemos resolver con ayuda, eso s, de las matemticas. Y educativa en un doble sentido: porque han de resolverse, como digo, con la ayuda de las matemticas y porque es un libro bilinge tanto el problema como la respuesta la encontramos en ingls y en espaol. Cada uno que lo lea en el idioma que prefiera aunque, eso s, yo recomiendo intentar leerlo en ingls y ya, si vemos que no entendemos algo, leer la versin en espaolSe trata de un libro americano, hecho por profesores de matemticas y pensado en nios de 10 a 12 aos (lo que vendra a ser de cuarto a sexto de primaria y primero de la ESO pero tambin podemos ampliarlo a otros cursos de la ESO espaola (que, est claro, habrn dado ms materia porque ya estn con ecuaciones, polinomios, etc. pero tampoco les vendr mal repasar con estos problemasLa mejor forma de aprender es jugando y experimentando. No hay ms que ver los libros de Infantil y de los primeros cursos de Primaria que parecen cuadernos de actividades y juegos ms que libros escolares. Pero es verdad que a medida que crecen, las materias se van complicando y los libros van hacindose menos ldicos y un poco ms farragosos. Y, sin embargo, podemos seguir jugando toda la vida, con actividades adecuadas a nuestra edadA casi todos nos gusta el misterio, los enigmas. Este libro se basa en esa curiosidad innata para, a travs de pequeos misterios que en realidad son problemas matemticos, hacer que las mates resulten divertidas,
amenas y fciles a los nios.'One minute mysteries' es un libro de tamao un poco ms grande que el bolsillo y de tapas blandas. Tiene 224 pginas y contiene 65 problemas. Estn elaborados por profesores de matemticas de Estados Unidos conforme al programa de all pero, ms o menos, es la materia que han dado los nios espaoles de la edad a la que van dirigidosSe divide en varias secciones:- Matemticas en casa- Matemticas en el campo- Jugando con matemticas- Matemticas todos los das- Suplemento especial de CienciasAdems, hay un Glosario donde se explican las palabras que pueden resultar un poco ms dificultosas, (lgebra, hipotenusa, etc...) un ndice y una tabla de conversin (pulgada, onza, yarda...)Dentro de casa seccin hay unos diez problemasOs digo cmo son los problemas para que os hagis una idea: En la pgina de la izquierda en la parte superior viene el ttulo del problema (por ejemplo 'Heavy Toll') y luego se plantea el problema en ingls. En la pgina de la derecha, el mismo problema en espaol, ttulo incluido. En ambos casos, al final de la pgina hay una seal de Stop en la que pone 'Think' o 'Piense'. Damos la vuelta a la pgina y veremos la respuesta y la explicacin: en ingls a la izquierda, en espaol a la derecha, acompaado de una fotografa en blanco y negro que tenga relacin con el asunto. As como en las pginas donde se plantea el problema viene la seal de Stop, en las que se resuelve viene una bombilla. No hay prdida posible.En este problema, 'Hevay toll', tenemos la conversacin entre un padre y su hija. ste acaba de recibir una notificacin de multa. Por lo que parece, en las autopistas americanas, al entrar en la autopista se chequea la hora y, al salir, se comprueba la hora y el tiempo transcurrido. La nia lee la carta y dice que tiene razn. que circulaba a mayor velocidad de la permitida. El padre le pregunta que cmo lo sabe. se es el problema. La solucin, explicada en la pgina siguiente, calcula las millas circuladas y el tiempo en que se han hecho para hallar la velocidad a la que el coche ha circulado.Creo que os podis hacer una idea de cmo son los problemas. De tipo prctico, con los que nos podemos encontrar en nuestra vida cotidiana, de pensar un poco pero no especialmente difciles de hacer.S debo comentar que el espaol es espaol sudamericano por lo que hay alguna palabra que nos puede resultar extraa pero cuyo significado no tendremos problema en comprender como 'carro', 'manejar', etc... Y que algunas mediciones se realiza con el sistema mtrico americano (en este problema, por ejemplo, la distancia se mide en millas). No pasa nada porque los problemas se pueden resolver igual pero es que, adems, como al final del libro tenemos una tabla de conversin, podemos aprovechar para pasarlo a nuestro sistema mtrico y as tenemos un dos en uno.Por si os interesa, el libro est a la venta en Amazon, tanto en digital como en papel (aunque os lo recomiendo en papel tanto por precio (12,14 en papel, 9,11 en ebook) como porque yo para estas cosas de nios siempre prefiero el papel) y a m me tard poco ms de una semana en llegar. Os pongo al final los enlaces de compraEn definitiva, estoy encantada con este libro. Es muy educativo, hace perder miedo a las matemticas jugando con ellas y nos va a venir bien este verano para repasar (Libros que hay que leer, https://librosquehayqueleer-laky.blogspot.com.es/2017/07/one-minute-mysteries-misterios-cortos.html)This book will help both English speaking and English Language Learners (ELL) students to learn mathematics in a fun and engaging way through different types of stories. One minute mysteries will help students develop abilities to quickly calculate mathematical problems. The way the problems are set in short stories will help to further spark students interest in math and expose students to new vocabulary. The book will assist students to better understand different mathematical themes and will help remind students that math is utilized in daily activities. (NSTA Recommends, http://www.nsta.org/recommends/ViewProduct.aspx?ProductID=23543)This fifth volume in the Yoders' One Minute Mysteries series, and the second in both Spanish and English, is the sister book to the science mysteries titles. As the publisher, Dia Michels, wrote to me, Doing a bilingual math book brought with it a whole new set of challenges.The original project began as a series of father-and-daughter activities in which one wrote and the other edited, or both wrote together. Eric's vision was, as he writes in his part of this foreword, to show real-world applications of academic subject matter, using mystery as the vehicle, and Natalie's vision was to be able to figure out everyday problems that could be solved using math. Together, their aim was to make math more accessible and enjoyable. As with the science volumes, these challenging problems open up both discoveries and potential for curious, inquisitive minds. And that these 40 pint-sized mysteriescovering Math at Home, Math Outside, Math at Play, and Math Every Day, and including a Science Bonus Sectionare presented as encountered and solved by children themselves, actually make math both approachable and fun.As with the science volumes, the book design here is clear and the text is readable, without illustrations or clues to detract from each mystery. The problems are presented in English on the left and Spanish on the right and generally headed by puns in each language to grab attention. The imagesblack-and-white photos and drawingsare appropriately reserved for the solution pages: those on each two-page spread are related to each other so young readers can intuit more than one connection between image and solution. Among my favorite brain-teasers is Pancake Mix-Up, in which Meg has to figure out exactly how many single-serve packages of pancake mix to combine with milk, using several different kinds of measuring cups. All she had to do, she says, was to find the smallest number that was a multiple of both ounces of pancake mix and ounces marked on the measuring cups. As someone who's math-challenged, to say the least, my solution would have been to make scrambled eggs.But my hands-down favorite, probably because I was able to figure it out, is Ice Cream, Anyone? in which 21 energetic middle-school girls, celebrating the end of their field hockey season, visit Cora's Ice Cream Parlor and request that each them get two different flavors of ice creamand that each get something different from anyone else. But Cora has only 12 flavors.Bachelet's colloquial Spanish translation reads well, and this layout of the mysteries and solutions enable hablantes, bilingual students, and English-only speakers to work in the language in which they're most proficient, and look to the other side for corresponding words, phrases, and idioms that particularly interest them. And his puns are hilarious; for instance, his version of Pancake Mix-Up is Manos en la Masa. For those who don't know, the interpretation would be caught you with your hands in the cookie jar, which, of course, has nothing to do with this math problem. I'm betting that it'll cause both hablantes and bilingual kids to laugh out loud.While it's obvious that the authors used great care in choosing the photos of both children and adults who represent a diversity of age, ethnicity, and gender, I would like to have seen a representation of children and adults with disabilities and the spectrum of family configurations as well.Also missing was a diversity of income levels. The problems feature predominantly middle- to upper-income families taking private golf lessons, staying at a dude ranch (in which they're required to take part in the daily chores), or figuring out which kind of new car to purchase. One problem that was particularly problematic for me was this one:Jada and Michelle's school was closed for a winter teacher training day, so their parents decided to take a day off from work to take the family skiing. They were glad to see when they got there that there were no lines at the chair lifts.With those suggested changes in mind, One Minute Mysteries: Short Mysteries You Solve with Math! / Misterios de un minuto:Misterios cortos que resuelves con matemticas! is engaging and fun for math nerds (and their parents, if permitted), as well as youngsters who could benefit from some time away from video games. It's recommended. (Beverly Slapin De Colores, https://decoloresreviews.blogspot.com/2017/07/one-minute-mysteries-short-mysteries.html)Would you be able to measure the length of a soccer field using only a tape measure and a hula hoop? How about determining the height of a tall tree using a yardstick and a ball of string? (No fair climbing in the tree!)In One Minute Mysteries: Short Mysteries You Solve with Math!, the father-daughter team of Eric and Natalie Yoder explains how to solve these and other problems using simple math and logic. Math is the kind of thing that you think you're never going to use, writes Natalie, but that's not true. Need to double a recipe for pancakes and all you've got is a -cup measuring cup? Want to make sure the tank you're buying is big enough for your pet iguana? As the Yoders show, these and other real-life situations that can easily be solved with a judicious application of numerical know-how.Short Mysteries You Solve with Math! is the second in the One Minute Mysteries series from Capitol Hill publisher Science, Naturally! Both the new book and its companion volume, Short Mysteries You Solve with Science!, are bilingual, with each mystery and solution featuring a Spanish translation on its opposite page. Lively illustrations and kid-friendly stories make this book for children 10 to 14 an enjoyable way to learn. But wait, there's still more! Through August 15, if you buy two of Science, Naturally!'s award-winning science and math books, you'll get a third one free. Go to www.sciencenaturally.com and enter the code ROCKET at checkout. (Karen Lyon Literary Hill, August 2017)Last year, I told you about One-Minute Mysteries, a new bilingual book series that was perfect for nurturing your kid's love of science.This year, I'm excited to share that a second book has been released focusing on MATH! Just in time for going back to school. :)Short Mysteries You Solve with Math!/Misterio scortos que resuelves con matemticas! (aff) is an award-winning book for young mystery and math lovers. Each mystery takes exactly one minute to read and includes real-world connections to help develop your student's critical thinking skills.Inside this book, you'll find 40 different brain teasers that require your child to use their math skills to find the solutions. PLUS a bonus science section at the end.And the best part is that all of them are in English and Spanish, so you can choose which language you want to read. On the left page, you'll read an English one-page mystery, and on the right page, the same mystery is available in Spanish. Once you think you've solved the brain teaser, just turn the page to read the answer and see if you were right!And before you ask, yes, the Spanish is well done. Last time, I couldn't find any information on the translators, but this time, when I went to their website, I found that two translators were used for the book. The first, Yana Alfaro, is from Costa Rica with a Masters in English-Spanish Translation. And the second, Karen R. Geating, is a language services consultant born and raised in Puerto Rico.Bonus for public/private school teachers: All Science, Naturally books align with both the Common Core State Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards. And the content in these books also correlates directly with the math and science standards laid out by the Center for Education at the National Academies.Bilingual materials are still really hard to find, which makes this book is a treasure for homeschooling parents who are looking for ways to make learning fun, while nurturing their child's bilingualism. Dual language teachers will also enjoy using this book as a fun time filler with their classes.It is best suited for children ages 10 - 14.So if you are looking for a fun way to keep your kids' science skills sharp, this book is for you!
