Mars is perhaps the most thrilling planet these days. With rovers exploring its surface and manned missions in the works, people are wondering if Mars is our next home! In this high-interest book, readers will learn more about Earth's neighbor, including what its climate and surface are like, why it's called the Red Planet, and about the recent discovery of water on its surface. They'll learn all this while solving "Your Mission" math problems that complement and support the text. This motivating volume is an engaging way to explore key aspects of science and math curricula.

      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.
