"The history of numbers from zero to ten," Vivian French and Ross Collins , Gauthier-Languereau

We use numbers every day, anywhere in the world and are a true universal language. From zero to nine, they are only ten, but they allow us to solve all mathematical problems imaginable!
Where are they? And how were we, before the appearance of numbers? The penguin and his pals will answer these questions - and many more!
They returned from a trip that transported more than 28 000 years back in the days when men began to try to measure time. They went to South America and Africa, Babylon, Sumer, in Arabia, Europe and India, and attended the discovery of the radix and the principle of position. More exciting still, they have discovered the importance of nothing! (To understand, you just have to read this book!)

A book on the history of mathematics interesting but not easy to use with students ... If you know of others on this theme, thank you m 'know.


"More stories pressed," Bernard Friot pocket Milan Junior (under new: Mathematics)

can find the text of the new one (page 16):
http://www.ac-reims.fr/ia08/rethel/documents/testcm22004.pdf
It contains a lot of calculations "crazy" to do. This is a child whose mother is a math teacher, who in retaliation for a harassment Mathematical daily engaged in some calculations derogatory to mark the anniversary of his mother.

I would strongly advise to "stories squeezed" by Bernard Friot (4 volumes) as a whole. These new stuffed humor are an excellent support for work in French.


"An elephant it matters much, "Helme Heine Benjamin Folio, Gallimard

That account each morning with so much attention and pride that elephant? He has these "nice round beautiful packages" that are his droppings. For fifty years, his birthday, he makes a shit again, but during the next fifty years, it will not bring himself to see happen on each anniversary of that shit less, to ...
It will be understood, there is, again, very far from a classic book! Philosophical tale in which death is looming quietly, book of account as we want to compute the number of droppings made by our elephant throughout his life ... we all take as he pleases, but it would be a shame not to meditate.


"1000 thousand million," David M. Schwartz and Steven Kellogg, Circumflex

you an idea how long it would take to count to one million? or up to one billion? or up to one billion?
and if a billion children could climb on top of each other, you imagine how far they could get?
Well those are the kinds of questions about the large numbers that are asked in this book and there are at least an answer ...


"The Magic Pot - a mathematical adventure, and Mitsumasa Anno Masaichiro, Pere Castor Flammarion

looks like a book to count: one island, two kingdoms, 3 mountains ...
but when we know that there are 10 pots in each of the 9 cases of 8 chests of 7 parts of 6 houses in 5 districts of four cities in the three mountains of the 2 kingdoms of the island ... We are no longer all in the simple count! To the delight of teachers of math, here is a very good illustration of the idea of factorial
"The simplicity of a nursery rhyme, the charm of nesting dolls ..." announces the back cover ... but it is better to read with children a little older!


"Ten little friends move, Mitsumasa Anno, The School of Leisure

Collection of 10 elements:
- while the collection of children who have already moved believes that children who remain decreases course;
- no text;
- no number;
- instructions for use at the beginning and end of the book;
- beautiful graphics, houses whose windows are cut.
