Math proves to be as amazing as magic in this issue of CRICKET, and, it turns out, little numbers can do big things. Time stands still when numbers hop off the clock. Learn how real-life female phone operators helped win a war. Plus, brain power is needed to make peace with dragons, giants, and bullies.

Even the most math-phobic kids will be able to see the beauty of numbers in this mathemagically inclined issue of CRICKET! In a fantasy world, you might assume a “Dragon’s Scales” refer to its plated armor, but in this witty story, the dragon is actually looking to weigh his gems and gold! Help Solly as he prepares for his bar mitzvah, impress your friends with number tricks, and meet groundbreaking mathematical genius Srinivasa Ramanujan.

 

Plus, enjoy book recommendations from CRICKET readers, solve a mathtastic “Crossbird” puzzle, and laugh at the antics of Cricket and Ladybug! Packed with fascinating stories and articles, thought-provoking poetry, and gorgeous artwork, everything here adds up to one fabulous issue of CRICKET!
