Note: I accessed digital review copies of this book through Edelweiss and NetGalley; I received an unbound galley from the publisher at ALA Midwinter 2017. ( ) This is a perfect book to use an introduction to learning about graphs, pie charts and line bars. It directly relates to math, while also discussing the history of how line graphs, pie charts and line bars came to be. The book definitely sparks curiosity within the reader. Written in narrative form, the plot naturally developed as the story progressed. I wish this book had been available while I was still teaching. It's the story of William Playfair, the inventor of bar graphs, line graphs and pie charts. His story is interesting and the author tells it well. The illustrations help with understanding the story just like graphs and charts help with understanding data. It's a great biography for elementary readers and their teachers. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Born in Scotland more than 250 years ago, William Playfair was a dreamer who saw the world differently from other people. Unfortunately, this difference sometimes got in the way of his success. Early on, as he attempted to apply his unique perspective to a series of career opportunities in order to gain riches! fame! glory! he instead suffered one failure after another. Then, while writing a book about economics, Will's innovative vision inspired an idea that would set him apart: he created the first modern line graph. Next came a bar graph and later a pie chart. These infographic inventions provided a way for numbers to be seen as pictures, which made them easier to understand and to remember --- and thus changed the way the world would interact with data forever"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
