Manchester Some Math for Everyone

A collection of books that step away from the traditional textbook approach to math, using stories, narratives, artwork, and humor to connect students from all backgrounds to math topics and their applications.

Boles, Martha, and Rochelle Newman. Universal Patterns. Bradford, Mass: Pythagorean Pr, 1990. Print.

This book takes a look at math from an artistic perspective – but that doesn’t mean there isn’t any homework!
Get out your pencil, compass and ruler and play with shapes, symmetry and proportion.

I recommend this very hands-on book for anyone who thinks they don't like math.
