Both of our grandsons, ages 7 and 9, caught on immediately to many mental math tricks. They were so pleased and ready to try them on everyone.

I was expecting this book to be beyond my 2nd grader. She saw the commercial for the math system, and I was hoping to give her a few tricks, but this book is mainly on multiplication and division.
