200% of Nothing

200% of Nothing: An Eye-opening Tour Through the Twists and Turns of Math Abuse and Innumeracy by A.K. Dwedney (John Wiley & Sons, ©1993): This book explores how numbers, counting, percentages, and other simple mathematical principles are twisted to suit individual agendas. The scenarios are provided by people who have encountered them and sent them to Dewdney. The scenarios could be used by students to become detectives of math abuse on their own. Because the examples are from real life, there are cross-curricular connections to areas such as economics and biology.
