This book gives us a glimpse into how mathematics started and evolved, and how it can help us from simple measurements to navigating ourselves using mathematically simplified maps. There are tasks, answers and explanations for children, students and teachers to use.

School mathematics sometimes excite and sometimes scare, and sadly, sometimes bore. In fact, elementary school arithmetic seems to get us through most situations. So why all the rest? This book aspires to give a glimpse into how things started and evolved, and how math can help us today, from simple measurements to navigating using mathematically simplified maps. The accompanying activities (some easier and some more challenging ones) aim to engage you with what was happening at a given time. Answers and explanations are in the end of the book.

After her first degree, Ioanna Georgiou (transliterated to Yo-Anna) went on to complete a Master's in Mathematics Education. She subsequently conducted research in Teaching Mathematics through history and culture and earned an MPhil in Education. She has been delivering masterclasses and workshops on stories from math for the Royal Institution of Great Britain and also independently.
