Dedicated to every child who is curious about the world
Be brave enough to develop your own interests and learn about the world in diverse ways!
My interests are very special──
I love figuring out the math in life.
As I walked down the road, I saw the broken patterns of tree branches growing.
On the slide, I found beautiful curves.
When I shoot a paper airplane, I like to predict its flight path.
Everyone has their own interests,
We use interests to understand the world and ourselves.

獻給每一位對世界充滿好奇的孩子
勇敢發展自己的興趣，用多元的方式來認識世界！
我的興趣很特別 ──
我喜歡找出生活中的數學。
走在路上，我看見樹枝生長的碎形圖案。
在溜滑梯上，我發現美麗的曲線。
射紙飛機時，我喜歡預測它的飛行軌跡。
每個人都有自己的興趣，
我們用興趣來認識世界、認識自己。
※獨家分享：我的數學筆記
每一個孩子都有不同的個性、興趣和潛力，
本書以第一人稱的視角來看待這個世界，
原來日常生活中到處都有數學的蹤跡，
原來數學這麼有趣！
