Math REALLY is Fun!, April 24 2011
By Julie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Math Hysteria: Fun and games with mathematics (Paperback)
Need something to while away the time standing in line, on a long car ride, dinner conversation? This book makes math concepts fun, and really math is fun - if you approach it like a game. We've had a tremendous amount of fun with this book, and now my child's friends ask to play the math games when they come over. Want to spark your child's interest in math and get them thinking about numbers in a whole new light? Mr. Stewart's book is totally the ticket.
