This book focuses on the topic of functions. I felt as if this book gave way too much information. The information tried to tied back to everyday life but got lost. There was no plot, just information that ran on for pages, which made it difficult to follow along. The illustrations were very dull, but that is understandable since the book is dated from 1974.

A Game of Functions introduces the concept of "functions." Functions are the same in math as they are in everyday life. Hunger is a function because it depends on when you ate last. It then shifts over to how functions are used in math.

This one might be a bit more advanced because I had some trouble understand it myself. It tries to gives kids an idea of what a function is by using situations of picnics and games. The paragraphs feel like they go one forever and the images do not help much. It feels very dated as well. I'm not sure how effective this book would be when read by itself.… (mais)

This book is filled with information about Venn Diagrams. The two main characters of the story are doing many daily activities, and they figure out many things and count objects by making a Venn diagram. Although this story has many great examples of how a Venn diagram works, it was my least favorite math book I had picked out this week. Each page was filled with a bunch of different things to put into the Venn diagram, and I felt as if it may be too overwhelming for a young reader. Also, in one part of the book, one of the characters says- “But what if you smell something? You might smell your mother’s perfume. Or some cigarette smoke”. I feel as if this part of the book may be a little inappropriate for young readers, and the author should have replaced this with normal smoke instead of cigarette smoke.… (mais)

"Venn Diagrams" goes very in depth on Venn Diagrams and ways to use them. The book is simple and explains Venn Diagrams well. I didn't like how the illustrations went from black and white to color. Not an easy book for kids to read but it does give a lot of info on Venn Diagrams.
