This is a great book to use in introducing different math concepts. It is focused on geometry. Shapes are used as hieroglyphics in the pyramid and the children must figure out different problems to keep moving forward in trying to find the treasure. It provides definitions of the different geometric shapes. Eight common geometric solids are introduced throughout the book. (

Math has never been as fun and enjoyable as it is with Matt and Bibi as they accompany their scientist parents to Egypt to search for the mummy of an ancient pharoah, and after becoming lost in the pyramid, must use their geometry skills to decipher the clues encoded in the hieroglyphics to locate the burial chamber and find their way out again.

The storyline is a little comfusing, but the message is good and does offer a fun way to talk about math.
