It's Alive!

The Funniest Math Book Ever!

In this updated edition of It’s Alive!, the kind of gooey, slimy, weird, and disgusting science facts that kids love are turned into hilarious and engaging math problems! Possibly the funniest math book ever written, this new edition is a must-have for teachers and their students looking for an extra challenge!

It’s Alive! The Funniest Math Book Ever! combines the best of It’s Alive! with the best of It’s Alive (and Kicking!), plus 40 all new problems, to produce what is without a doubt the funniest math book ever! Teachers will especially appreciate the new edition’s inclusion of a chart linking each problem with specific Common Core Standards, and another chart linking each standard to specific problems.

Marya took the kind of gooey, slimy, weird and disgusting science facts that kids love, and aided by her son and his best friend—both in middle school at the time—turned them into hilarious and engaging math problems. Simple in design but valuable in content, this book will thrill and excite your middle schooler by replacing typical, run-of-the-mill math problems with the stuff they’re really thinking about, like:

• How many unknown-to-science microbes live in your belly button?
• What percent of refrigerators contain n.l.r.m.i.t. (no longer recognizable moldy icky things)?
• How many times is gas passed in the average 60-minute math class?
• How many gigabytes does your brain hold?

Math is fun when we get to figure the cost of a meal at the AfterMath Restaurant, with foods like Macaroni and Sneeze, Deep Fried Lint and Hot Sludge Sundae. Even the comprehensive answer key, including step-bystep detail and problem-solving strategies, is hilarious! Math and science combine with laughter in It’s Alive! The Funniest Math Book Ever! Math class will never be the same!
