Available: paperback
This is a book of 100 mini mysteries for the reader to solve along with
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The mysteries are actually logic and math
problems disguised under the title "mysteries." At first I was very
disappointed because the book jacket didn't clue me in on that little detail.
It led me to believe I was going to be "cracking criminal cases." NOT
reading a book of math word problems, which I hated as a kid. Once I got over
my disappointment, I looked at the mini mysteries a little closer and have to
admit, they are kind of clever and could have made my math classes a little
more interesting. The book also has a lot of fun graphics.
Target audience: Math students & math
teachers
