This review is from: The Amazing Mathematical Amusement Arcade (Paperback)
I keep seveal sets of different small books like this (in multiple copies) for my 9th grade math students when it comes time to do display projects and make vocal presentations. This one fits very well into the scheme when it comes to short items. Class is always attentive (more than to me!).Well illustrated, big print, and 130 puzzles (with solutions in the rear) of which I easily suggest about 4 dozen for project use, and others for personal or small group amusement.
