    Math In A Story!

    This book is an excellent book because it not only shares the moral of pride can be risky--it uses the basis of a math equation in the story. The king is too proud to admit he doesn't understand how much rice a wise man requested. He asks for one grain of rice for one square of the chessboard and doubled each square after that. It ends up being way more rice than the king can figure. It is a clever way to teach people the power of numbers.

    The King's Chessboard

    I used this book in science class leading up to our study of population growth. Even though my audience was high school freshmen, they still love being read to. It blew their minds how quickly numbers increase when just one of anything is doubled each day.
