Takahe Maths

Description

Take two Takahe, isolate them for a million years and what do you have? Now add humans and the predators they bring...

How do the numbers add up now?

A unique approach to the study of maths, conservation, history and storytelling this picture book tells the story of the takahē, once thought to be extinct. The story starts before the arrival of any humans and with each turn of the page we see the effects of man, animal, development, and ultimately conservation, as the mathematical equation deducts and adds to the population numbers. The maths equations are given as much importance as the text. 

Conservation and maths literacy themes.
