Each two-page spread presents a hypothetical real-world math word problem, contextual background, and an answer using basic math and measurements. All the data to answer the fifty-three included questions is documented by appended sources, and a final chapter offers young readers some tricks for solving math puzzles in one's head. The book is artfully designed, with eye-catching color photographs and illustrations.
