Teaching Ideas:
This book would be fun for independent reading. Teachers might want to select their favorite inventions and read aloud about them. Most nonfiction teaching strategies will work well. Students can read about several inventions then try to draw conclusions about inventors, why inventions come to be, etc. If a student has an idea for an invention, a group could use their math and persuasion skills to present it to the class.
