Funville Adventures

After 9-year-old Emmy and her 5-year-old brother Leo go down a mysterious slide, they are magically transported into Funville: a land inhabited by ordinary looking beings, each with a unique power to transform objects. The siblings discover that Funville is full of surprises: one never knows when something will be shrunk, copied, turned into an elephant, or erased! The pair have fun creatively solving Funvillian problems and learning a thing or two about themselves in the process. While on the surface, Funville Adventures is just a fairy tale, the powers of the Funvillians are a vehicle for introducing children to the concept of functions. Each power corresponds to a transformation such as doubling in size, rotating, copying, or changing color. Children are introduced to the mathematical concepts of invertible and non-invertible functions, domains, ranges, and functionals without mathematical terminology.
