I love teaching, and I love math. This newsletter is my way of reaching out and helping you to teach it, too.
I've tried my best to make this email easy to read on desktops as well as on mobile devices. Let me know how well I succeeded.
In this newsletter, we'll explore
2. Geometric vanish puzzles (grades 4-12)
3. Fraction and geometry lessons updated (grades 4-6)
4. Chemistry Magic Show (grades K-12)

1. Math Mammoth stuff
- I will run a SALE for all downloads and CDs at Kagi store in the latter part of May! Stay tuned!
For summer math, consider Math Mammoth review workbooks!
The workbooks are intended to give students a thorough review of the particular grade level math. Each book has both topical as well as mixed (spiral) review worksheets, and includes both topical tests and a comprehensive end-of-the-year test. The tests can also be used as review worksheets, instead of tests.
The content for these workbooks is taken from the corresponding level of the Light Blue series (the mixed reviews, reviews, tests, and cumulative reviews). Therefore, these workbooks are redundant if you own the complete Light Blue Series.

2. Geometric vanish puzzles
Look at what happens here, when the pieces are rearranged! One square disappears. How can that be?
The video shows you another geometric vanish that looks even more amazing and puzzling. Where do those pieces go????? It looks like they vanish just by rearranging the pieces, yet the overall puzzle stays the same size.
