Think Like a GeniusInspiring Tales of Mathematicians and Scientists
By David E. McAdams
What makes a person a genius? Is it being the smartest, or the most curious? Is it solving problems, or perhaps never giving up on them?
Think Like a Genius is a delightful collection of short, engaging biographies that brings to life the stories of mathematicians and scientists from across time and around the world. Specially written for tweens, this book highlights the real traits that make people brilliant: perseverance, creativity, kindness, courage, imagination, and a deep desire to understand the world.
Inside, you'll meet:
Tycho Brahe, who measured the stars with stunning precision-without a telescope Sophie Germain, who secretly studied math when girls weren't allowed to Paul Erdos, who traveled the world with nothing but a suitcase full of ideas Rachel Carson, who spoke up for the Earth with honesty and responsibility Nikola Tesla, who imagined the impossible-and then made it real
...and many more remarkable minds whose lives still shine today.
Each story ends with thoughtful questions to spark family conversation or classroom discussion, helping children connect with these great thinkers and discover the genius within themselves.
Why You'll Love This Book? Perfect for readers ages 9-12
? Fun, fast biographies that are easy to read aloud
? Encourages character development and curiosity
? A wonderful companion to science and math learning
? Ideal for homeschooling, classroom enrichment, and bedtime inspiration
Think Like a Genius is more than just a biography book. It's a guide to thinking boldly, wondering deeply, and growing a mind and heart, making ready to make the world better.
