User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Good Puzzles, but not what I was hoping for
The quality of the questions in the book are good for middle school students. However, I was hoping to get shorter word problems. The problems in this book are set up as short stories (between one and two pages of text). The students are to read through the stories to find clues that will help solve the problems stated in each story.
This may be a very good enrichment activity, but not for students who struggle with both reading and math as it involves “too much” to come up with a solution: reading skills, comprehension, math skills, and deductive reasoning.
5 Stars Great Math problems
this booms my kids’ interests even higher on problem-solving scenarios. it leads them to think and solve problems. Good book!
4 Stars Very fun
Some of the activities were not clear in understanding but overall a fun and different way to understand math. This book would really benefit 6th, 7th, and 8th graders well.
5 Stars Incredibly fun math problems
I’m a private math tutor and am using this book as a Friday reward for two sixth grade girls who are studying algebra one with me. It is challenging in some interesting ways. It is full of story problems to be unraveled, about two kids who are detectives. I had given it to my daughter, who was the first year teacher and she said her kids loved it more than any other part of math. They can be solved alone or in groups. I really recommend this book.
5 Stars As fun as math gets
This is a book your kids will enjoy, as far as you would ever expect your kids to enjoy a math workbook. The puzzles do build up a bit of suspense, and I like the problem solving approach. Recommended!
