Excellent math puzzles and games. There are some very challenging problems in this book. Most of the word problems require multi step answers and critical thinking skills. Some of the math games can be easily used for a variety of grade levels.

This book provides a lot of interesting and funny maths activities which would be able to help dynamic teachers in introducing elementary techniques to their young students.

This is an outstanding book that I have used in my classes for years and years. It has a wealth of material that is of a quality far above the usual compendiums of games that you usually see. Great games, challenges, tricks, etc. that you will love using with your students, and the range is from early grades on up to at least junior high and sometimes beyond.Great stuff. While you're at it, buy an extra copy or two for your colleagues; this is one book you're going to love and use often.

I will definitely use this handy little math book. Great supplement for my classes. I will share it with the other middle school teachers I work with as well.
