Three exciting stories lead to a problem you must solve using math. A toolbox section helps take you through similar examples and provides math exercises you can do that will help give you a better understanding of how to solve the problem in the story."--Provided by publisher.

Readers accompany the Stickmen in a dive from the ocean's surface to the deepest trench, in an examination of the sea and the life it sustains.
