Abstract

Supervised by Science Navigator, Dr. Susumu Sakurai! Packed with the "wonders," "fun," and "amazingness" of arithmetic! This is the third installment of the long-selling book "365 Days of Scientific Literacy: Understanding Science through Illustrations" that has been a hit since its publication in January 2020! Just like the previous works, this book is filled with illustrations, and all kanji characters have furigana readings, making it easy to read! The theme this time is "arithmetic"! Through quizzes and text, you can learn about eight genres: "numbers and calculations," "units and measurements," "everyday arithmetic," "geometric shapes and solids," "history and culture," "historical figures," "IT and computers," and "statistics." It includes not only topics familiar to elementary school students but also some arithmetic facts that even adults may not know. By reading this book with your child, you will gain a better understanding of how amazing, useful, and interesting arithmetic can be!
