The asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is an intriguing area of our solar system. Scientists have counted over 670,000 known asteroids there, but there could be millions more not yet found. Readers will discover much more about the asteroid belt in this high-interest book, which blends science and math. They'll read about several topics, such as space missions to the asteroid belt and the difference between an asteroid and a planet, and solve associated math problems, just like actual space scientists do!

      Gr 3-6-Math and mathematical concepts are used to reinforce facts about planets and other celestial bodies to adequate success in this series. Two-page chapters feature a paragraph of information accompanied by one or more photos or graphics that cover a given subtopic, such as water on Mars or the Great Red Spot on Jupiter. Chapters feature a mathematical "mission" that asks students to calculate planet diameters, how much a person on Earth would weigh on that planet, and so on. The image quality is often on the fuzzier side, although the sheer beauty of the space images will likely attract readers anyway.
