If: A Mind-Bending New Way of Looking at Big Ideas and Numbers

Smith, D. J.
This intriguing cross-curricular book for grades 3-8 scales down complex, incalculable concepts and presents them in graphic comparisons. Hard-to-imagine concepts are compared them to everyday objects that students are familiar with and can see, making it easier to visualize abstract concepts in a concrete manner. The scaled comparison is presented through vivid, colourful illustrations and accessible text that enhances comprehension and inquiry. A meaningful introduction to the concepts of scale and comparison that introduces complex historic concepts in a unique and inquiry-based way.
