Cool Math: 50 Fantastic Facts for Kids of All Ages<\/em>
\nby Tracie Young and Katie Hewett (Authors) <\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> Learn how to tip, work out the distance of a storm, create Fibonacci sequences, crack codes, and more! From simple multiplication to complex calculus, math has never been easier.<\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong>
\nThe Binomial Man<\/strong>
\nIn algebra, a binomial is an expression that consists of two terms–“bi” meaning “two” and “nomial” meaning “number”–separated by a plus or minus sign. Multiplying two binomial expressions can be similar to the multiplication of numbers. “F-O-I-L” (First, Outside, Inside, Last) is an acronym to remember a set of rules that will help you perform this multiplication. <\/p>\n
