The Greedy Triangle is a book that can be used at almost any age. I would specifically use this book in a middle or high school geometry class. It would be a great way to explore the many different kinds of polygons.

"Do The Math" would be a very interesting book for a 9th grade Algebra I class. It relates what a teenage girl might go through to different math concepts. I would use it as a review for a final exam because it incorporates many different aspects of Algebra.
