Do the Math!: Challenging, Fun Math Puzzles for Kids

I wanted to share my thoughts on a fantastic math book that I highly recommend for both parents and teachers.Sometimes, math can feel like a foreign concept to kids, but this book really helps them explore mathematical concepts from a more relatable, worldly perspective. The puzzles are incredibly fun and engaging, and while some are quite challenging, my child is always eager to dive in as soon as I open it. It's refreshing to see a book that makes learning math an adventure rather than a chore.It truly makes math enjoyable for both the child and the parent, and I believe it's a valuable resource for anyone looking to make math more accessible and fun.

My 4th grade gifted class absolutely loves logic puzzles. The problem is, they complete them so very quickly. What I love about this book is the variety of different types of puzzles. Building those critical thinking and problem solving skills is so vital. I especially like that each type of puzzles has scaffolded practice, starting with easier warm-up problems and building to mind-bending ones. I choose 4-5 pages through the book and make a challenge packet for the week. The kids love it! I would say this is ideal for grades 4-6 and potentially higher, depending on the group of kiddos.

Good compilation of questions but it lacks answers. I wish it at least had sample questions with answers to guide usability. The questions were similar to 1st graders GT class so it is a good practice book.

Bought this as a gift for my nephew. He thoroughly enjoyed solving the puzzles

What a fun book! My seven year old’s favorite part is the emoji math, and she has been telling her friends to get the book too!This book exemplifies how math is about being creative! Forget memorizing formulas or times tables; this book is about exploring ideas and learning while having fun!I also really appreciate that the authors made notes in the margins to encourage and help kids along. They anticipate spots where kids might get stuck along the way and give them a little push to keep going and keep trying.

This is great for kids who are already good at math, and like math, but need to be challenged. - Gregory Bullock, author of ALGEBRA IN WORDS

The child really asked for this book, he said that it was very interesting and entertaining. the book arrived without damage. Unfortunately, the child lost interest without starting to decide. In my opinion, the book is useful for children. I recommend
