From the birthday of the man who wore size-23 shoes to the invention of the sandwich, this eclectic and quirky collection of activity-based event anniversaries (two per day, for every day of the year, from January 1 through December 31) adds a blend of serious and light hearted oomph to math instruction. Provides opportunities for collecting, organizing, and graphing data; relating to monetary issues; thinking about areas of measurement; and more. Ideal for integrating math with other areas of the curriculum and relating math to the real world.
