Excellent
I just started homeschooling a 5yo, and was looking for a way to teach math in an informal way. This book is exactly what I have been looking for. I can use real objects(cars, trains, blocks) for lessons instead of using 20 different types of manipulatives that other books recommend.

Fantastic book for toddlers
Anno's Math Games is a fantastic book that teaches math concepts to children (and the adults reading to them). In a gifted combination of very clear text and entertaining illustrations, this book teaches some of the major math concepts in an easy to understand and entertaining way. I read this one as well as Anno's other books to my children when they were little and it was a favorite of theirs. I strongly recommend it.

they won't even know they're learning math
This book is amazing for children. I actually grew up reading this book, and I am now majoring in math. Anno's books teach kids the concepts of math, without confusing them with all the math words. This is perfect for small children, because they can easily understand the concepts in this book - like "Which of these things is not like the other", pairing coats and pockets to make a coat with pockets, different colored hats, etc. Don't be put out if your small child can't do arithmetic right after reading this book - it is not intended to teach arithmetic, but instead to teach the cognitive skills necessary to master arthimetic LATER. I say read it to your toddler, your elementary school children, your high schooler, anyone can benefit from this book. ... Read more

The best math learning book ever.
This book works for every kid, and adults enjoy playing the games, too!I have never seen a child try a Number Jugglers game without getting enthusiastic about math. It must be the feeling of success that comes with getting it right in Number Jugglers.

Number Jugglers is the most important math game in my class.
I have taught a multi-age class, grades 1,2, and 3 for 10 years and havefound Number Jugglers to be the most popular and useful math game in myclass's math program.

A Wonderful Way to Reinforce Number Sense and Problem Solving Skills!
When I was teaching second and third grade I used this book to implement a math home/school homework program.The directions are easy to follow and I used decks of cards from the 99 cent store.As an addition, I made up a homework learning questionnaire.In a Ziplock baggie went the directions, a deck of cards, and my learning questionnaire.After a student was done with his/her packet, he/she would share what he/she learned with the class.The book inspired my students to brush up on their number sense skills individually, with each other, and their family members!I highly recommend this book!

Math is Fun Again

Great games for understanding math concepts
I am a homeschooler. My son is a very visual and hands-on learner, so when he learned math using paper and pencil calculations only, he would quickly forget the concepts by the next day. I searched the internet for math games to reinforce conceptual understanding of decimals for my son. I think this is an exceptional book filled with fun and interesting methods to reinforce math concepts. It relates math to the real world in many of the activities.

Some activites are not really games, but are still interesting ways to present concepts. I plan to buy all of Lynette Long's math activity books! ... Read more

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. ...
