3.0 out of 5 stars Workbook for kids in middle school, January 21, 2009

By	S. Manson (GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book for an 8 year who really enjoys math. But the workbook was too advanced for someone in the 3rd and perhaps 4th grade. A lot of the math concepts (negative integers, scientific notation, square roots)are beyond the math level of the age range listed in the product description.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for road trips!, September 14, 2008

By	Diana (SC, USA) - See all my reviews

Fun activities including decoding Roman numerals, connecting dots (for older kids), magic squares... Kept our ten and twelve year old happy and busy during a long wait at the airport. They liked the license plate activity back in the car. Definitely worth the price!
