Some students in elementary school wonder if there is any more mathematics to learn after arithmetic and basic geometry. They wonder what else there is to mathematics after you learn fractions and how to calculate the area of a circle or a triangle. They are ready to learn something new and to build on what they know.This book is written for fourth- to sixth-grade students to provide enrichment in mathematics and can be useful for teachers to supplement the math curriculum in those grades.Enrichment topics are presented by engaging the reader in a fantasy story.

Throughout the story are arithmetic and geometry results that readers can choose to verify or not, depending on their knowledge and interests. This allows students to follow the story at different levels.The book also provides preface and postscript sections, specifically written for parents, teachers, and advanced students to augment the material presented in the story and to help discuss the concepts in greater depth with the student.

Will he secure his future by ruining hers, or will she ruin his plans by securing him? A new twist on the old fortune hunter plot puts an impoverished earl in a position to gain his fortune only by ruining an innocent's reputation without offering marriage. The innocent he's selected, however, has no plans to settle for anything less than marriage and will go to almost any length to secure him. With no other means for an income, the impoverished Andrew Black, Earl of Townson, makes an agreement that will put a definite end to his eight year poverty streak. But, in order to gain his fortune he must do only one simple thing: ruin an innocent young lady’s reputation enough to make her flee to America. Brooke Banks isn’t interested in marriage, or so she thinks. She came to London to have a good time, and that’s exactly what she’s doing. Widely known for her tendency to flout the rules, she suspects nothing when a handsome stranger appears on her doorstep. Thirteen days, a handful of kisses and one scandalous situation later, Andrew and Brooke will have to choose to stick to their original plans, or decide if a life together is worth the risk.
