Matt, Bibi, and their dog Riley crawled through the tiny opening first. FWUMP! A secret door suddenly closed behind them . . .The Zills family is summoned to Egypt to help find the hidden burial chamber of an ancient pharaoh. But when Matt and Bibi get trapped in the pharaoh's pyramid, they stumble upon an even bigger mystery. With only each other, their dog Riley, and the geometric hieroglyphics on the walls to help them, the twins must use their math skills to locate the burial chamber―and the way out. Luckily, Matt and Bibi know their stuff when it comes to geometric solids, and so will the readers of this adventure in math!

I used this book for two separate lesson plans. I made a game board and added game cards based on the book. This quickly became an engaging way to count faces, vertices, and edges. I also used it in 7th grade social studies to add questions about history. BONUS: my 13 yr. old and 10 yr. old thought it was an engaging book!
This is a picture book about the Zills family. The family is off on an adventure to hidden burial site of an ancient pharaoh. The twin brothers in the family get stuck inside a pyramid with their dog. They must use math to figure out a way to escape the pyramid. They must use skills to figure out the riddles written on the wall and locate the hidden burial chamber. Will they ever figure it out? Read Mummy Math to find out! It's one of those special books which children will read without realizing they are learning a mathematical concept.This is a recommended book for those teacher or parents that want to make math a little more exciting for children.
This book is super cute and fun for elementary students. We used this in our homeschool for ages 6,9,10. I just wanted a little math fun book to go with our ancient Egyptian study. This was the perfect book for that. The little kids in the book get lost and have to find their way out of the pyramid with clues from hieroglyphics on the walls. This king apparently liked three dimensional shapes, haha. This is a fun book for practice or for learning three dimensional shapes. The illustrations are very cute. At the end there is a cute math problem to solve. We used this along with actual shapes so my kids could look at each one as we read the book. We loved it!
Mummy Math is an excellent introduction to geometrical faces. Using children's literature to introduce math is a great way to help children become engaged in a lesson.
This is a totally dorky book, but my students totally got into it. Not only that, they referred to it during the rest of my geometry unit! I used this book as an introduction to 3-D shapes, and followed the read aloud with a 3-D shape Mobile activity. I always put the book on display after I read it, and I noticed several kids going back to re-read the book.
I purchased this book for two reasons: one to reinforce my DD's learning of various shapes and two to share as a read-aloud to her class. All kids enjoyed the adventure. It had enough excitement and problem-solving but not too much and a funny ending. My DD still likes to read this book on her own (or be read to) before bedtime once in awhile (a year later).
At this point for my girls I know I am a bit ahead of the game, but I cannot help getting excited about education books for them. While researching ideas in The Well Trained Mind and other catalogs I came across the Sir Cumference Series (Sir Cumference Pack) by Cindy Neuschwander. While I have not yet read those I am delighted to start with Mummy Math: An Adventure in Geometry. What a fun adventure! This shore but education story is great for kids both before and after they have been introduced to geometry. Stories like this make math fun. Using a great font this book will be an excellent early reader once my girls reach that level and until then I enjoy reading it to my toddler with rapt attention.*Thanks to Square Fish for providing a copy for review.*Originally posted: http://creativemadnessmama.com
This book is a great introduction into geometry. Fun story plus my kids and I enjoyed searching for all of the shapes hidden within each illustration.
