Magic Eye II: Now You See It Magic Eye II: Now You See It is a popular book that revolutionized the way we perceive images. Created by Cheri Smith, this book features stereograms, a type of autostereogram that contains hidden 3D images. These images are revealed when the viewer lets their eyes relax and focuses past the image. The book starts with an introduction to stereograms and how they work. It explains that stereograms are created using a technique called autostereography, where a 2D pattern is designed to create the illusion of a 3D image. It also provides tips for viewing the images, such as holding the page at a comfortable distance and ensuring good lighting.

It also provides tips for viewing the images, such as holding the page at a comfortable distance and ensuring good lighting. The book then presents a variety of stereogram images, each with its own unique design and hidden 3D image. From simple patterns to intricate landscapes and animals, the images in Magic Eye II: Now You See It offer a mesmerizing experience for the viewer.

Jon Scieska & Lane Smith – Math Curse and Science Verse

This week I present to you two books that are an interesting mix of nonsense and non-fiction. Math Curse and Science Verse, created by author/illustrator team Jon Scieska and Lane Smith, which, under the pretence of teaching maths and science embark on a fanciful, lyrical voyage into the minds of children as they grapple with concepts that seem to swallow life whole (or is it hole?). The books don’t exactly teach science and maths though there are certainly concepts, terms, numbers and equations in the mix. What they do do is do praise creative and whimsical thinking in combination with maths and science, the combine wordplay with these subjects and show that, with a dash of nonsense and wonder that perhaps… maths can be just a little fun? Afterall, haven’t we all wondered:

How many yards in a neighborhood? How many inches in a pint? How many feet in my shoes?

Both books begin with their respective teachers announcing that everything could be thought of in terms of maths and science, and then the child protagonist’s mind is cursed into viewing everything in terms of one subject or the other.

Now that I’m grown I can see that almost everything comes down to language, maths and science – these three subjects (?concepts, constantly shifting absolutes?) are very much central to everyday life. Ok, I don’t need to do calculus everyday or figure out the elemental structure of objects, but basic maths and sciences creep into life without me even realizing it! When sleeping, walking, cooking, eating, even typing (how fast do I type? how fast does the computer pick up my typing? do I see the words that I type as fast I type them? how fast do I type compared to the slowest typer, the fastest? if I type one thing will it become another type of type? Oh man, these books have cursed me too!). These books poke fun at this simple reality while also satirizing the way that these two subjects are portrayed in school – they don’t need to be concrete and difficult walls to conquer – why not have a bit of fun with them? People who like language can most certainly enjoy maths and sciences too, and vice versa.

Perhaps the one potential negative to these books could be the satirical way that teachers are portrayed (particularly in Science Verse) as boring or dull in the way that they present these (obviously exciting!) subjects. As always there is an edge to Scieska and Lane’s work and the criticism of the education system and/or educators is it. Still, there are plenty of examples of great lesson plans out there on the internets that use these books and I think that when paired with an adult voice, be it aparents or an English, Maths or Science teacher, encouraging kids to think like the protagonists in the books – to get out of that box and jump into the literal – the lesson can be quite valuable. Subjects are taught as separate entities from one another, but life isn’t that simple, these subject interconnect all the time. Breaking down the barriers between subjects may introduce a concept even more important than even blueberry pi.

Essential Questions for students (objectives): How can you look at life through the lens of mathematics?
Supplies: Math Curse by Jon Scieszka & Lane Smith, KIQ handout, post-its or journal, computer access, research rubric
Instructional format: Whole group discussion & small group or center work

As they learn to relax their eyes and concentrate, the hidden image suddenly comes into focus, creating a sense of awe and wonder. One of the remarkable aspects of Magic Eye II: Now You See It is that it appeals to both the young and the old. Children are often fascinated by the challenge of finding the hidden images, while adults find the process of viewing the stereograms to be a relaxing and meditative experience. It is a book that brings people together and encourages them to explore the power of their own perception. Aside from the enjoyment factor, Magic Eye II: Now You See It also has a practical application. Some people use stereograms as a form of vision therapy to improve depth perception and visual focus. By training their eyes to see hidden images, they can strengthen their eye muscles and improve their overall vision. In conclusion, Magic Eye II: Now You See It is an enchanting book that captures the imagination and challenges our perception. It offers a unique visual experience that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a fun activity or want to explore the potential of your own vision, this book is a must-have. So dive into the world of Magic Eye and discover the hidden wonders that lie within!.
