Do the Math!: Challenging, Fun Math Puzzles for Kids

I wanted to share my thoughts on a fantastic math book that I highly recommend for both parents and teachers. Sometimes, math can feel like a foreign concept to kids, but this book really helps them explore mathematical concepts from a more relatable, worldly perspective. The puzzles are incredibly fun and engaging, and while some are quite challenging, my child is always eager to dive in as soon as I open it. It's refreshing to see a book that makes learning math an adventure rather than a chore. It truly makes math enjoyable for both the child and the parent, and I believe it's a valuable resource for anyone looking to make math more accessible and fun.

My 10yo math lover got this for Christmas and the book was finished by today (Feb 6). She absolutely LOVED this book. The problems were challenging, but not impossible. The only thing she's requested is a second volume because she wants more to do!

Excellent Book, my 13yo loves this book!

Good compilation of questions but it lacks answers. I wish it at least had sample questions with answers to guide usability. The questions were similar to 1st graders GT class so it is a good practice book.

My 4th grade gifted class absolutely loves logic puzzles. The problem is, they complete them so very quickly. What I love about this book is the variety of different types of puzzles. Building those critical thinking and problem solving skills is so vital. I especially like that each type of puzzles has scaffolded practice, starting with easier warm-up problems and building to mind-bending ones. I choose 4-5 pages through the book and make a challenge packet for the week. The kids love it! I would say this is ideal for grades 4-6 and potentially higher, depending on the group of kiddos.

Bought this as a gift for my nephew. He thoroughly enjoyed solving the puzzles

I have a 6 and 8 year old who have both enjoyed working through the puzzles in this book! There is a great variety of puzzles and difficulties so this book will remain one that my kids can come back to over time. Math puzzles are a great way for kids to engage in math skills in an entertaining and engaging way! I received a preview copy from the publisher, but I have enjoyed this so much that I bought a second copy for my brother's children!

What a fun book! My seven year old’s favorite part is the emoji math, and she has been telling her friends to get the book too! This book exemplifies how math is about being creative! Forget memorizing formulas or times tables; this book is about exploring ideas and learning while having fun! I also really appreciate that the authors made notes in the margins to encourage and help kids along. They anticipate spots where kids might get stuck along the way and give them a little push to keep going and keep trying.

It is interesting book with variety exercises. It is the best option in which children can learn more. My son likes the math and he fought this book a great alternative to pass the free time.

this book contains many interesting yet challenging puzzles ( well, not all math puzzles, some are more likely to be word puzzles to decode some encryped messages ). My kids love this book and they even begged me to buy another copy so that they don't have to fight for the right to write on the book! This book is suitable for kids 6 to 12. some questions are easy and straightforward, yet some are head-scratching. I highly recommend it

A good book to engage my 9-year-old .
