There is no question about it: character counts. But how can a square, rectangle, and diamond help make a childs behavior sparkle? Carole Cliffe, an award-winning educator, integrates geometric shapes, eye-catching illustrations, and clever interactive activities to inspire kids to shape their characterone letter at a time. While encouraging positive character traits such as cooperation, gratitude, patience, respect, and trust, Mrs. Cliffe helps children heighten math skills and become socially responsible citizens. Shaping Up Your Character A to ZMathematically is aligned with common core curriculum standards. Combining Math and Morals throughout this book will help to inspire children to make the world a better place and will enhance their mathematic skills. Carole Cliffes book infuses character traits of cooperation, academic excellence, responsibility, and respect while addressing our math standards. Janene Maxon, Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services, Castaic Union School District Carole takes familiar shapes and terms and links them to character traits that model appropriate behavior. I cant think of a better way to assist kids in making wise choices. Betsy Letzo, Retired Principal, Sulphur Springs School District By integrating character education and math figures, Carole grasps and holds students attention. Appealing to the creative side in all of us, her unique combination captures the essence of learning, while instilling sound moral character in the student. Susan L.

Mathematicians like to point out that mathematics is universal. In spite of this, most people continue to view it as either mundane (balancing a checkbook) or mysterious (cryptography). This fifth volume of the What's Happening series contradicts that view by showing that mathematics is indeed found everywhere-in science, art, history, and our everyday lives. Here is some of what you'll find in this volume: Mathematics and Science Mathematical biology: Mathematics was key tocracking the genetic code. Now, new mathematics is needed to understand the three-dimensional structure of the proteins produced from that code. Celestial mechanics and cosmology: New methods have revealed a multitude of solutions to the three-body problem. And other new work may answer one of cosmology'smost fundamental questions: What is the size and shape of the universe? Mathematics and Everyday Life Traffic jams: New models are helping researchers understand where traffic jams come from-and maybe what to do about them! Small worlds: Researchers have found a short distance from theory to applications in the study of small world networks. Elegance in Mathematics Beyond Fermat's Last Theorem: Number theorists are reaching higher ground after Wiles' astounding 1994 proof: new developments inthe elegant world of elliptic curves and modular functions. The Millennium Prize Problems: The Clay Mathematics Institute has offered a million dollars for solutions to seven important and difficult unsolved problems. These are just some of the topics of current interest that are covered in thislatest volume of What's Happening in the Mathematical Sciences. The book has broad appeal for a wide spectrum of mathematicians and scientists, from high school students through advanced-level graduates and researchers.
