Description
The fables have been written primarily for youngsters through elementary school.
Embedded within every EduFable™ is an educational concept.
Young children will be able to grasp these concepts simply by listening to the stories and looking at the illustrations.has an appendix which provides supplemental information about the educational concept, real world applications.
The goal is to get children interested in these subjects at a young age and demystify some things that turn children away from mathematics and science.
EduFables™ will expose young children to advanced learning concepts while they are having fun … so enjoy!!
FABLE 1.2: "IT'S HUNKY DORY IN THE MAGIC QUAMI FOREST" - Hunky Dunky and Dory Dunky are the two oldest children of the Dunky family. They have 11 brothers and sisters and work very hard on their parent's farm in the kingdom of Farmingteen. Unfortunately, there had been no rain during the past year and the Dunky's, as well as the other 15 farming families in the kingdom, could not make any money because they had no crops to sell - but even worse, all of the families were starving! Luckily, their rulers, King Lefty and Queen Righty, were very kind and very rich. The king and queen invited the two oldest children from each family to participate in a special game, at which every child would win gold bars. In fact, each of the 32 entrants was guaranteed to win either one, two or ten of the gold bars. Ten bars were placed in each of ten bins behind a magic Quami forest, as shown above. By simply flipping a magic coin with the king's face on one side and the queen's face on the other side each child would move either left or right through the five rows of forest trees and on into one of the bins. The magical attribute of the coin was that every child took a different route through the forest. The total number of children arriving in each bin would then equally share the ten gold bars. Hunky was the only child to arrive in bin A and Dory was the only child to arrive in bin F, each winning 10 gold bars. Five children arrived in bin B and bin E, each winning two bars and ten children arrived in each of bins C and D, each winning one gold bar. Naturally, everyone lived happily ever after, and Hunky and Dory both donated parts of their winnings to the other families. In addition to learning left's and right's, many mathematical concepts are brought out by this EduFable™. These include the 50-50 chance of flipping a head or a tail, the sharing of 10 items among 1, 5, or 10 children and that the largest number of different paths leading to a bin brought the largest number of children to that bin.
APPENDIX: The appendix, which is written for parents, grandparents, teachers or older siblings, contains instructions for making Magic Quami Forest Board games and pinball games that young readers can play, which show how the Farmingteen children piled up in different bins. The appendix lists all of the possible forest routes and demonstrates how the probabilities of getting to any bin can be easily calculated as well as what the probability is of, e.g. flipping three heads and two tails in five flips. It also depicts how the Quami Forest is directly related to the mathematical binomial distribution and how the Binomial Probability Distribution in this fable can be used to model a statistical chart of the weights and heights of children in a classroom.
