Sinossi

Who hasn't feared the math Minotaur in its labyrinth of abstractions? Now, inOut of the Labyrinth, Robert and Ellen Kaplan--the founders of The Math Circle, the popular learning program begun at Harvard in 1994--reveal the secrets behind their highly successful approach, leading readers out of the labyrinth and into the joyous embrace of mathematics. Written with the same wit and clarity that made Robert Kaplan'sThe Nothing That Is an international bestseller, Out of the Labyrinth offers an engaging and practical guide for parents and educators, and a delight for anyone interested in sharing the pleasures of mathematics. The Kaplans argue that math should be taught as the highest form of intellectual play, an endeavor to be explored and enjoyed by children (or adults) of any age. Enhanced throughout with puzzles, practical equations, and colorful anecdotes from their own classrooms,Out of the Labyrinth will allow students, parents, teachers, and others to wrestle with the accessible mysteries of math--and discover their inner math genius.
