As a middle school math teacher I was amazed when a parent brought this book to me. It was great. It has lots of interesting activites to do in math along with some very good worksheets. After having the book for thirty minutes I had already done to activities for my 7th grade classroom. This would be a great book for teachers and parents who are looking for some extra practice for their students.

I teach 6th grade math and had been looking for engaging handouts I could use with some of my students. This fits the bill. Getting reps is essential to improving math skills, but students often don't want to do the work. The work presented as riddles and puzzles taps into many of my students intrensic motivations.

Although this book is for "reluctant Math Students" I found it to be perfect for my advanced 7th grade Math class. I used these fun, clever pages as worksheets for Extra Credit. It was wonderful as extra practice and had a slightly different approach than their regular text. I highly recommend this book.
