5.0 out of 5 stars My kids loved this book, May 14, 2002

Peter King (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 225 Fantastic Facts Math Word Problems: Amazing Facts and Quick Companion Word Problems That Build Skills in Multiplication, Division, Fractions, Decimals, Percentages, and More (Paperback)

I got this book and I've never seen my children so interested in solving math problems. The reward of finding out some trivia at the end of the problem seemed to work wonders.

Now that they are done with it I make up problems for them to solve based on facts I find.

Bring on Volume 2!

5.0 out of 5 stars highly recommend, November 19, 2005

Sonia Wilson (Virginia) - See all my reviews

Using this book is one of the very best ways I have found to review and teach math facts. Any level of math can be reviewed in the same time frame. Excellent for facts application, recall accuracy, and problem solving speed. You only need to give 2-3 problems a day. Consistence is the key, a little everyday. I also like Beestar (an excellent web site with free weekly math practice at www.beestar.org). They both let kids use and enforce their math skills daily while having fun. Highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars They are fantastic word problems!, March 18, 2006

Cheryl L. Miller "Ciao Bella" (Milford, MA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

I am not a math teacher, but our district has "Math Day" once a year. All teachers teach a math unit on that day. I was able to use this book to make my activity "Math Around the World" because it had fantastic facts about things on many continents. The students were fascinated, and enjoyed finding out how thick the ice was at Antarctica, how long the Statue of Liberty's nose was, etc. High interest, good variety, and provides good daily math problems.
