A big, summer storm left the school in this book a mess! The students, parents, and other volunteers worked to clean it up. They make teams to pick up aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and glass. After everything is cleaned up, they use graphs to show how much of each item they collected. They take these items to be recycled. They use the money they earn to help build a new playground. What does your school need, and how can you help? 32pp.

The students in this book want to protect the environment. The students use graphs to show the many ways they can reduce, reuse, and recycle. They can reduce the amount water they use. They can reuse paper. But it is recycling that really gets them excited. The students bring in old cans and bottles. They use a graph to find out how much money they can earn. They will use the money they earn for an Earth Day party. Do you want to join them? 32pp.

Trains take you where you need to go and they move food and other goods from one place to another. Trains are full of shapes, too, which make them fun to look at. You can find circles on the train's wheels and rectangles on the railroad tracks and railroad signs. There are even shapes at the train station. Some ceilings have circles or triangles and some floors have squares. Look inside. Can you find any more? 32pp.

Did you know that airports are the perfect place to find shapes? Sometimes shapes are used because they are a good design choice, such as circles and triangles on the ceiling. But other times, shapes are used to offer support and strength to the building. Look inside to see if you can find the many shapes hidden inside airports from around the world. Take a look outside the airport too. What shapes do you see on the runway? 32pp.

Each year, the Coles look forward to their family reunion. This year, the Coles are in charge of all the planning.

As such, the authors present a collaborative approach to data analysis involving both scientists and statisticians that can be used to model unknown parameters using scientific information, called prior information or apriori. Keeping the mathematics to a minimum, the text focuses on applic...
