5.0 out of 5 stars "Give a child a power boost to their self esteem", September 30, 2000

This review is from: The Mirror Puzzle Book (Paperback)

This book provides a fun way to help students recognize patterns, relationships and how to organize information that is necessary for building their math and critical thinking skills. It is a great boost to the child that is spatially oriented and will help enhance this orientation in those who need to improve this skill. I have used this in my 4th grade class for many years and it has been enjoyed by all. Some students went so far as to create their own patterns. What a great brain teaser!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mirror Mirror in the Book ...., March 21, 2000

This review is from: The Mirror Puzzle Book (Paperback)

Marion Walter is actually my aunt, and she wrote most of her books with us nieces in mind. I can tell you from personal experience that as a child they were great books to learn from and fun to play with. Her aim has always to make education fun, and she certainly achieves this in her books. All the mirror books teach you about symmetry in a really creative way, and teach children to think for themselves. The books are also illustrated in a colourful fun way, other books which run along this line are no where near as clever.

In the 1970s I was Marion Walter's student at Harvard University Graduate School of Education. I went on to teach children for 6 years in Arlington and Cambridge (MA) Public Schools, and then 17 years for the California State University. I've used Dr. Walter's manipulative materials and approach throughout all those years, and they work wonderfully in enabling students to understand concepts, both abstract and concrete.
You cannot do better than Marion Walter's insights for teaching mathematics. She is the BEST!
