Summary: A Math Smarty Pants myself
Review: (...) We have a copy of this book at home, and I've purchased this book to give to some of my children's friends and some home-schooling parents I know. I think giving this book to any math phobe, whatever their age, is a great idea. I also highly recommend the "I Hate Math Book", also by Marilyn Burns.

Summary: Sneaky tricks with numbers
Review: I'm biased, since math was always my favorite subject, but this I had this book as a child and was SO happy to find it in print. There are a bunch of fun tricks and puzzles that can be done with mathematics: this book merely points a bunch of them out. It has a fun cast of characters (I wish there were more books about them out there), and is fun to read. Guaranteed to provide you with something you can be a Smarty Pants about. Has a good mix of storytelling, solvable riddles, trivia, mathematics, and fun.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great book, bad reading level rating
Review: The book is great but it should be rated for 12+ instead of 9-12. The book goes into abstract concepts very hard to understand for a 10 year old. I bought it for my daughter which is the best of her class in math and she was very frustrated with the book. To really appreciate the book you need a very good grasping and confidence with the basic operations, fractions, powers and geometry, that means well beyond the years where your kid is learning those topics.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Resource
Review: This book has gotten more kids fired up about math than anything I've seen. The engaging format shows kids that math is more than arithmetic - it's fun, it's cool, it's a blast! Even kids who are afraid of math will be hooked! I use it with 3rd and 4th graders who regularly ask their parents to buy it for them. They actually ask for a math book - go figure!
