Product Description
From Booklist
Salvadori, the author of numerous architectural titles (The Art of Construction [1990]), turns his attention to mathematics in this offering. The topics include basic arithmetic operations, plane and solid geometry, graphing, simultaneous linear equations, and probability. Each chapter begins with an introduction explaining the concept, followed by a list of problems for readers to solve. Although these activities are mathematically sound, the term game is a misnomer (as is the heading for the exercises--"Math Camp"), making this much more likely to appeal to middle-school teachers than to their students. Recommended for larger collections or libraries with great demand for this subject; answers appended. Kay Weisman
Review
"Outstanding resource invites youngsters to sharpen their math skills and learn new ways to solve a variety of math problems." —Children’s Literature

Math Games for Middle School,
By Shalaunda Spencer (St. Charles, MO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Math Games for Middle School: Challenges and Skill-Builders for Students at Every Level (Paperback)
I teach middle school mathematics and I think the book is great to aid in cooperative learning groups. Using the information and developing work stations will enhance the students' knowledge of the material. As a lesson, the book would require the creativity of the teacher to add other material and/or adjustments to make it interesting. This book is best for reteaching or review of the topics being taught.

Just a bad math book!,
By "pete888" (Sacramento, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Math Games for Middle School: Challenges and Skill-Builders for Students at Every Level (Paperback)
I teach Middle School Pre-Algebra and One Year Algebra. Every summer I try and purchase books and magazines in order to find new and interesting lesson plans. I purchased this book thinking I could get at least something new and interesting to excite my kids. This book definitely didnt help. College students would be bored with the books writing style and exercises. And most of the ideas are old and rejected from years past. Hand-outs and book assignments are not inspiring. A book titled "Math Games" should be just that; a book full of math games. Not one with mundane hand-outs.

Great "Daily Math" Problems,
By A Customer
This review is from: Math Games for Middle School: Challenges and Skill-Builders for Students at Every Level (Paperback)
As a middle school substitute teacher, I'm always looking for things to use as daily problem to open the class with. This book is GREAT!! Problems are divided by topic so it easy to pick & choose. Answers are completely explained.
