Having Fun Learning Fractions
Fraction Jugglers is the best book we have ever seen to help kids (and adults!) learn how to use fractions.It starts from the very beginning (naming fractions) and gradually teaches everything you need to know. The illustrations are cute, the text is easy to understand, and the games are fun.We watched children laughing and excited to play as they were competing to see who would win the most cards.Meanwhile they were figuring out equivalent fractions without even realizing it.Definitely a great book.The fraction cards and fraction chart that come with the book are very helpful. ...

Great educational value!
My 5 and 2 year old are having a blast with this one! I've been trying to make Math fun, but this is above all expectations I had for the price!
Highly recommend!

Great Game For Learning Math
This is a great game for learning math! Both my daughters love these puzzles and love the fact that they actually find the answers!

Making Math Fun -- Even for Toddlers!
This is as simple as it gets: It's a set of cardboard puzzle pieces displaying basic addition and subtraction equations. For example, you can match the piece that says "1+5" with the piece that says "=6". The pieces that go together are cleverly designed with a unique interlocking edge, so you can't connect "1+5" with any other solution.

I know there's a game involving these equations, but in our house we've never even read the directions. That's because my son, who loves his "numbers puzzle," is only 3 years old, supposedly way too young for this activity. That doesn't stop him from poring over the pieces and fitting them together into equations. He loves it! Because of this set, my 3-year-old now knows as much math as most first graders. His only complaint (and the reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5) is that the numbers end at 10. He wants to add and subtract larger numbers! DK Publishers: how about a "sequel"? ... Read more

Makes math fun
Great book for making math fun and approachable...wish there more like it. I actually enjoyed and looked forward to helping my kid with math.

Classic problems just right for fourth graders
My fourth grade son recently purchased this book and he has been enjoying it ever since. He really likes the problems that appear to be magical, but are in fact simple applications of numbers. None of the problems are original, most would be considered classics, and some have been around for centuries. However, that does not detract from their quality, as they require a great deal of thought, some of it of the sideways variety. Like most good puzzles, successfully arriving at the solution sometimes requires that the obvious possibility be rejected in favor of a different approach.
A previous reviewer mentions that there is an error on page 69. That person is mistaken. The problem is correct as stated, the reviewer is simply not understanding that the numbers are not to be altered from their current alignment, which would mean the numbers that are left aligned are to be considered to have trailing zeros.
I enjoyed the book and my children are finding the problems to be challenging and educational. In no way do I regret allowing my son to purchase it.

7 Year Old Finds Math Error In Math Tricks Book
My 7 year old son found a serious math error in this book by Professor Numbers, aka, Ray Blum. On page 69, under "Mathematical Oddity", the author purports that the two columns of numbers have the same sum. The nine numbers in the left hand column of numbers are each greater than their counterpart in the right hand column. It goes without saying that the left hand column adds up to a higher number than the right. So much for basic math logic.

As an earlier review stated, this book basically recycles old math tricks. Not that this is a punishable offense, but the book fails to explain WHY the tricks work.

Mathemagic tricks quickly lose interest...
This book was written by copying existing well-known tricks. In my opinion this is a waste of money, and my worst online purchase ever. ... Read more
