priceless5
The old saying, "You learn something new every day", has no better fit than here: in the monthly display of fascinating facts, puzzles, problems, and illustrations. One of the amazing things about this calendar is that it's in its 30th year of publishing, and our family hasn't outgrown it or become bored with it yet!

Besides being a fun learning tool for math, the calendar is a lovely functioning piece of art. I recommend this to you for 2008.

Great Teaching Aid5
This calendar is great, providing a quick daily introduction in a high school algebra class or just for personal problem-solving practice.

Great Calendar5
I received the 2007 calendar from niece for Christmas last year, but no follow-up gift this year. So I was pleased this calendar was still available from Amazon. It's a great mix of math problems, where the answer is always known. I have a masters in math (from 30+ years ago), but there are days I can't solve to the answer. This is a fun calendar for any math lover out there.
