5.0 out of 5 stars Not Games, April 6, 2009

By	Math Teacher (California) - See all my reviews

I like this book and highly recommend anything by the Muschla's. But this is a book of worksheets, not games. It does contain entertaining and challenging worksheets that are useful in the classroom. I more often will use their Algebra Teacher's Activity Kit or the Geometry Teacher's Activity Kit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good worksheet book for additional practice - middle school level, March 3, 2008

By	M. A. Jameson "an Amazon fan" (Hudson, MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

While the title is misleading, I found this book a good way to get additional practice in my middle school math classes. The worksheets offer some "puzzle" type problems and "real world" word problems. Students like the worksheets and the format of them doesn't make it feel like everything is on top of each other like worksheets often do.

A good supplement to any classroom
