mind opener book October 29, 2004

Developing kids thinking skills benefits them for a long time. Parents should intentionally let their kids exercise their brains and learn to think logically and creatively. This book is a great resource. It opens kids mind and does a good job of keeping them interested. My son has had a lot fun working on it. Since the early enrichment, he is doing pretty well in school. I signed up him to the free daily math exercise web site http://www.beestar.org. He is fairly outstanding in his grade. I give credit primarily to this book, a mind opener.
It is a good math workbook February 20, 2003

My kindergarten daughter just finished this workbook. She enjoyed this kind of fun and thoughtful workbooks much more than the boring regular ones. Since she could answer over 80% of the questions independently and only needed some help from parents in not more than 20% of the questions, I think this workbook is more likely for kids at first grade level or even lower, and is probably designed for regular kids, not necessary for the gifted & talented. I believe many children will like it and I highly recommend it.
It deserves 5 stars if it is not for the 3rd graders December 13, 2002

Unlike most of the math workbooks that only repeat boring concepts and computations, this workbook gives kids a thoughtful and vivid practice as well as a deeper level of thinking in math. Kids enjoy doing this kind of practice. However, the questions in this workbook are too easy for third graders, because my girl in kindergarten was able to deal with them. She finished more than 50% of the questions independently, and for the rest she needed some help or hint from parents. I think this workbook is more likely for ordinary 2nd graders, or even for lower graders if they are bright, not necessary for the gifted. I highly recommend it if it is for 2nd or lower graders.
I have also found some mistakes in this book: On page 11, questions 2 and 4, the longest route should be: Anytown-Cityway- Dustyroad-Bigville-Elkfalls; and it should be 54 miles instead of 52 miles. On page 47, question 2, the definition of "day" is confusing: If "one day" is defined as 24 hours, the answer should be May 27. Obviously, the definition of "one day" here means "one day time", i.e. 12 hours.
