Tiger math


Tiger math is about a Siberian Tiger who's Mother, without warning, died of cancer (and learn graphs from the tiger cub, who's name, by the way, is T.J.). Poor T.J. had no one but the Sheila, the tiger keeper, and Cindy, a vet assistant at the animal hospital, to take care of him, so it was up to them to do it. Their goal: get him as big and healthy as his father, Matthew, was at his age. It was hard to reach it, but, eventually T.J.'s condition was just as good as his father's. About the math? well, this book explains graphs using things about T.J. and tigers in general. for example, there's a pie chart that shows the number of different types of tigers on the globe (the whole thing representing tigers in general). My opinion of their method is, "Excellent!"
