Froskehopp - Algebra gir elevene en alternativ inngang til algebra og algebraiske uttrykk og symboler. Utgangspunktet er en kontekst om froskehopp, der hoppene modelleres som variabler på doble, tomme tallinjer. Den sentrale ideen er ekvivalens, der elevene gjennom prøblemløsingsoppgaver oppdager at uttrykk som ser forskjellige ut kan være like i verdi. Elevene vil også finne ut at ekvivalente uttrykk kan byttes mot hverandre, og at like mengder kan tas bort på begge sidene i en ligning. Dette er grunnleggende for å forstå ligninger og løsningsmetoder for ligninger. En viktig ide de utvikler i dette arbeidet er at algebraiske uttrykk kan betraktes som objekter, og ikke regneprosedyrer. Arbeidet med konteksten gir også en en inngang til meningsfull innføring av symboler for variable og ukjente størrelser.

Bill Bryson describes himself as a reluctant traveller, but even when he stays safely at home he can't contain his curiosity about the world around him. A Short History of Nearly Everything is his quest to understand everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization - how we got from there, being nothing at all, to here, being us. Bill Bryson's challenge is to take subjects that normally bore the pants off most of us, like geology, chemistry and particle physics, and see if there isn't some way to render them comprehensible to people who have never thought they could be interested in science. The ultimate eye-opening journey through time and space, A Short History of Nearly Everything is the biggest-selling popular science book of the 21st century, and reveals the world in a way most of us have never seen it before.

What valuable company is nobody building? The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won't make a search engine. If you are copying these guys, you aren't learning from them. It's easier to copy a model than to make something new: doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. Every new creation goes from 0 to 1. This book is about how to get there. "Peter Thiel has built multiple breakthrough companies, and Zero to One shows how". (Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla). "This book delivers completely new and refreshing ideas on how to create value in the world". (Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook). "When a risk taker writes a book, read it. In the case of Peter Thiel, read it twice. Or, to be safe, three times. This is a classic". (Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of The Black Swan).
