That's Mathematics Zusammenfassung

That's Mathematics Original Tom Lehrer

That's Mathematics is a maths book like no other. It's a vibrant, colourful book for young children showing them that maths is useful, interesting, fun and EVERYWHERE! They use it every day when they count, share, play, do sport, make cakes or move to music.

Aimed at children from 5 to 8 years, the youngest can enjoy it as a picture book, reading Lehrer's rhyming song lyrics and looking at Elina Braslina's joyful illustrations. They will pick up a basic understanding of real-world maths and learn some core maths language along the way. Older children are challenged to 'Try This' and 'Explore This' by author Chris Smith, who is a maths teacher, musician and all-round maths enthusiast. The activities are designed to deepen their curiosity and knowledge.

There are supporting online activities to continue the fun, plus notes for parents to encourage you to get involved and help you discuss topics covered and keep the learning going after the book is closed.

In the footsteps of Tom Lehrer, Chris Smith shows you are never too young to have fun with maths.

-- Johnny Ball, TV presenter and lifelong maths lover
Chris Smith has done a wonderful job of breathing EVEN MORE life into Tom Lehrer's already amazing song. This book is such a great way to show that Maths is more than just a class and problems in a textbook. It's all around us!

There are so many ways in which the book could be used within the KS1 classroom to extend learning following a maths input or to stimulate discussion and problem-solving.

Über Original Tom Lehrer

Tom Lehrer is an American satirist, singer-songwriter, musician and mathematician, most famous for his humorous songs from the 1950s and 60s, including The Elements, a tongue-twisting song with lyrics made up of every element in the Periodic Table. He began writing and performing his songs at Harvard University where he studied mathematics from the age of 15. After multiple albums, he largely gave up performing and began to teach mathematics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US, moving to the University of California in the 1970s. In 2020, at the age of 92, Lehrer donated all the lyrics and music written by him to the public domain.

His scathing creations remain one of the most original - not to mention mathematically elegant - bodies of artistic work to come out of the United States in the twentieth century. Andrew Robinson, author and journalist (Nature.com)

The cleverest and funniest man of the 20th century Daniel Radcliffe (after singing The Elements on TV in 2020)

Former Scottish Teacher of the Year, Chris Smith teaches, tweets, dreams and sings songs about maths. In 2020, Chris and a team of famous UK mathematical YouTubers created a video performing this song, which was the inspiration for the book. Chris hopes it will inspire a generation of mini mathematicians.
