5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of fun!, Dec 17 2004

By	candy (ca) - See all my reviews

This review is from: More Sideways Arithmetic From Wayside School (Mass Market Paperback)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars WORSE THAN IQ, July 6 2004

By	Trombonist "Dave" (hong kong) - See all my reviews

This review is from: More Sideways Arithmetic From Wayside School (Mass Market Paperback)

I can garantee the you will have a hard time discovering the arithmetic problems in this book. Sachar surely showed the humor and his intelligent brain. The way he expressed the problems is very easy to be understood, but i think you may need a big pile of paper, and a big pile of TIME.
The accompanying book Sideways Arithmetic From Wayside School is out before this book, and that one, ha, is very confusing. But not as much as this one.
Overall, Wayside School Series is just for fun.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the first, May 18 2003

By	Jaina (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: More Sideways Arithmetic From Wayside School (Mass Market Paperback)

Unlike the original <u>Sideways Arithmetic from Wayside School</u>, which was an excellent set of logic problems, some difficult enough to challenge a math teacher - I wish I'd had it while I was preparing for my GREs - this book was a bit of a disappointment. The problems were, first of all, much easier than those in the first book, and they stayed at mainly the same level. So, once you'd learned the basics of a certain type of problem, the next few of that type remained just as easy, instead of challenging the reader. Stick to the fist one -- it's strong and a LOT more fun. Methinks Sachar slacked off a bit in writing the "sequel".
