Review “I’ve been a fan of mathematical and logic puzzles since I was in middle school. This book contains problems that I would have enjoyed when I was 8 years old and that I still enjoy decades later. While many books claim to be ‘for all levels,’ the puzzles in this book really are. The warm-up problems provide great introductions; subsequent problems present ever more difficult and intriguing challenges. I appreciate the variety of puzzles and the color coding on the edges of pages, so I can easily flip to sections with my favorite types of problems. Warning: These puzzles are addictive and by solving them, you may notice patterns and absorb some non-trivial mathematics.” ―Nancy Blachman, founder of the Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival“Do the Math! features a great combination of new and classic puzzles that are well-designed and appropriately scaffolded. This book is a must-read for math-loving kids and teachers or parents who are looking to encourage creative problem-solving skills. As a teacher who regularly uses puzzles in the classroom, I wish my students came to me with experience solving the types of puzzles featured in this book.” ―Sarah Carter, high school math teacher and author of Math = Love (mathequalslove.net) “My kids loved it. They immediately asked me to make some copies so that they could each work on the problems independently. Their favorite section was Intriguing Enigmas, where the authors reinforce that math is about investigation and exploration, not ‘memorizing formulas or following examples.’” ―PJ Couch, associate professor and director of Mathematical Puzzle Programs“With its variety of mathematical puzzles, Do The Math! is intriguing for puzzlers of many ages. My 8-year-old loved the sequence problems, although she stuck with addition and subtraction, leaving the lattice logic puzzles to be devoured by my 13-year-old. I plan to offer the remaining sections of this book on some of the long car trips we're planning to take this summer!” ―Emma Zbarsky, parent and math educator“Do The Math! is an excellent book, providing fun, interesting problems for children but can be enjoyed by learners of all ages!
