5.0 out of 5 stars priceless, November 19, 2005

By	Sonia Wilson (Virginia) - See all my reviews

I cannot say enough good things about this fine book. Its math problems are versatile and well designed. They strike a good balance between fun and serious math. Many questions are tricky and thought-provoking. My child is inspired by its interesting math problems and often wants more. I found similar content in Beestar (an excellent web site with free math practice at http://www.beestar.org). What a blessing that your child is eager to learn and have fun! This book is priceless to me in this regard. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Minute Math Problem of the Day, October 10, 2005

By	Long time Educator (Georgia) - See all my reviews

Teachers love this nice "sponge" activity which requires application of several skills or processes at once. No more having to think up a good math activity! Students enjoy working together to discover answers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource, September 28, 2001

By A Customer

I use this book every day in my classroom. We use Saxon math and this complements the Problem of the Day very well. I have students complete one problem a day and it is great.
