Synopsis
Based on Dr Barbara Nawolska’s review:
The action of the fairy tales takes places in outer space, in fictional kingdoms, high mountains, forests, caves, islands and other fairy-tale locations. The adventures of the fairy tale characters provide an opportunity to solve various mathematical tasks embedded in the fairy tales and motivation to demonstrate the following skills:
- skills in addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, and differential comparison,
- the ability to perform clock and calendar calculations,
- knowledge of units of volume, mass, and length and calculations using them,
- understanding the value of money and the ability to perform monetary calculations.
