Really enjoyed this book! Full of information about how your brain processes numbers and logic。 Great color and info is in easy, bite-size pieces。 Still a relevant purchase despite its 2012 publication date。 On order for my MS library; I already can't wait to display it because I know some of my math wiz kids will devour it!

Obviously I'm not the target market for this book but it did seem like it could be useful to at least give a different perspective than school。 But it was a little annoying at points as well。 Not sure that it was completely well researched but worth a shot if you need some way to encourage some child in math。 Obviously I'm not the target market for this book but it did seem like it could be useful to at least give a different perspective than school。 But it was a little annoying at points as well。 Not sure that it was completely well researched but worth a shot if you need some way to encourage some child in math。 。。。more

Interesting puzzles and such。

This book is just smack full of puzzles of all sort from numbers, to shapes and space to codes and brainteasers。 And yes the answers are in the back。 If you are the type that can spend hours on this- this book is for you。 And the illustrations are great。 Flip through。 It also gives some history and background。 For instance (page 107) on codes you get an explanation on the methods of breaking codes, instructions on how to make a cipher wheel, and then get to try some out。 In the number section th This book is just smack full of puzzles of all sort from numbers, to shapes and space to codes and brainteasers。 And yes the answers are in the back。 If you are the type that can spend hours on this- this book is for you。 And the illustrations are great。 Flip through。 It also gives some history and background。 For instance (page 107) on codes you get an explanation on the methods of breaking codes, instructions on how to make a cipher wheel, and then get to try some out。 In the number section there is a history of numbers, a chart showing the different type of numbering systems and then some brain games。 Here’s a riddle。 A Plane takes off from London headed for Japan。 After a few hours there is an engine malfunction and the plane crashes on the Italian/Swiss border。 Where do they bury the survivors? (you don’t bury survivors)。 Great interactive book to booklet with kids。Booklegged for Grade 6 could be Grade 5-8 。。。more

Very interesting book。 Covers a lot of history about math, and it's only towards the middle of the book that it starts helping a person actually learn the how, instead of background。 But, I'm going to order this one for me。 Very interesting book。 Covers a lot of history about math, and it's only towards the middle of the book that it starts helping a person actually learn the how, instead of background。 But, I'm going to order this one for me。 。。。more

The pages are busy, something to consider when recommending it to younger readers。 The puzzles and brain teasers throughout the book are fun, and let's just say。。。not all super easy。 At least I hope they are not supposed to be super easy。。。。or。。。well, anyway, a fun book! 。。。more
