This review is from: World Almanac for Kids Puzzler Deck: Math: Ages 7-9, Grades 2-3 (Cards)

These is a nice activity set for the car or perhaps a plane ride, or to keep up the skills over the summer. The math set includes codes, currency, percentages and other number facts. My eight year old enjoyed the fun approach to solving math problems.

This review is from: The World Almanac for Kids Puzzler Deck: Numbers & Counting: Ages 5-7, Grades K-1 (Cards)

Although this product is recommended for 5-7 year olds, my 4 year old grandson loves to work these "puzzles." The only drawback, if you want to look at it that way, is that he can't read them by himself so needs an adult to read the cards to him, thus the recommended ages. He also finds some of them too difficult but will just go to another one if that's the case. I sometimes just choose the ones that are more appropriate for him and just use those. They are colorful and diverse in skills and perfect for the car or just for some quiet and focused time during the day.
