Produktbeschreibung
This book is a suspenseful fantasy for middle grade readers that has math puzzles woven throughout. The story tells of the adventures of the good wizard, Galimedes (a combination of the names, Galileo and Archimedes), and his two faithful helpers who must recover the lost scrolls of time and seasons. The story is packed full of action and suspense. Every page presents the reader with a math puzzle which must be solved correctly. The reason: the pages of the story are scrambled, and the answer to the math puzzle on each page reveals the number of the next page to be read. There is also a hidden secret message which can be found by stringing together the first letters on each of the pages when they are read in the correct order. Solving the puzzles makes for an "adventure inside an adventure." Great for math teachers, tutors, and parents who want to inspire young people to see that math can be fun. A great gift for the young person who loves fantasies that present a challenge.
"Secrets of the Wizard" is the ultimate math puzzle fantasy, appropriate for ages 11 and up. Follow the exciting adventure of the good wizard, Galimedes, and his two faithful helpers as they seek to recover the scrolls of time and seasons which have been stolen by the evil magician, Zarvildar. The pages of the story have been scrambled and renumbered. Only by solving the math puzzle on each page will you know the number of the page to read next. You can also uncover a hidden secret message! This message will reveal the wizard's greatest secret. There are 99 puzzles in all, some of which should be easy for the average sixth grader. Other puzzles are more difficult because they involve multiple steps and operations. A seventh or eighth grader or even an adult will find some of these quite challenging. In case you get stuck, lists with hints and answers are included in the back of the book.
