Eddie Woo's wonderful world of STEM by Eddie Woo

Author Eddie Woo is a very well-known mathematician, educator, television presenter and social media personality with his own ‘Wootube’ channel who has engaged primary school aged children all over Australia and the world with his love of all things mathematics related. His dynamic yet humble personality and easy ability of imparting information has opened the door for many children (and the adults in their lives) to a fun way of learning and gaining an understanding of mathematical concepts. 

His latest release Eddie Woo’s Wonderful World of Science Technology Engineering Maths is a surprising book. With a bold cover featuring Eddie and numerous mathematical symbols, this thick activity book contains multiple pages where students can complete an exciting array of exercises at their own pace. The contents page begins with the first chapter explaining STEM and then moves on to On The Move, Out Of This World, Patterns Around Us, Sky and Sea, Robotics and STEAM.

Throughout the book, activities to attempt include word searches, drawing, filling out information, answering questions, colouring, paper folding, mapping and designing. Each page is perfectly set out with lots of white space, simple explanations of each activity, key words in large bold print with ample room for children to complete the task. The STEAM section has plenty of interesting art-based activities. Fortunately at the back of the book are all the answers. (Phew!)

Eddie’s humour and support are evident on every page and there is really something for every type of learner. Eddie Woo’s Wonderful World of Science Technology Engineering Maths would be a wonderful resource for home or school and teachers may find it especially useful for STEM/STEAM based learning activities.
