(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Pat Cupples. Breezy, second-person narration and an impish, math-loving character named Nora will help draw upper-elementary and middle-school girls into this collection of math activities, most of which involve applications of geometry. Whimsical illustrations in pastel pinks and purples provide visual clues for completing the activities. Text boxes include information about real-life women who rely on math in their careers.
