Customer Reviews

Excellent for development of logic skills
We use this book as an adjunct to our grades4-5 math curriculum. Specifically, we use it as a challenge for our brighter students. The students love the puzzles in this book and it enhances their love for math.

Lots of fun!
I love incorporating words with math! It makes it fun and interesting. I am not big on math (nor am I very good at it), but when you incorporate language, it makes it fun. I really found this enjoyable! You do neet time, paper, and a darn good eraser, but this was a blast! It has the same kind of stories as the other Wayside books, but it incorporates math problems to go with it. (BOYS + GIRLS = SILLY) And it's your job to figure out number substitutes for the letters. It's a lot of fun to do, and improves math skills and language skills. It's a blast!
It's harder than the first one, be warned! But it's also more fun and entertaining. I always used it as like a rainy day project, and I plan to do the same with my daughter.

Great Book for a Math/Logic Wiz
I had this book when I was in fifth grade, and I absolutely loved it. I was already a big fan of the Wayside books, and I also liked math so these books were the perfect combination for me. I even remember working through the entire book multiple times. I especially loved the early problems wtih the convertion of basic math equations with letters to numbers like BOYS + BOYS = GIRLS and stuff like that. Now I am a physics major in college so I guess I came out pretty well. This book (and the first as well) is highly recommended for any kid who likes the Wayside books and also enjoys math/logic puzzles. Who knows, maybe this kid will be working with Schrodinger's equation in several years.
