Review
“During remote learning, this book was a huge WIN for me and my fifth graders. My students were engaged every morning with solving, discussing, and laughing. I can't wait to use these in person; this book helped me create community, normalcy, and student-centered learning.” ―Comfort Agboola, gifted education elementary teacher
“Once again, Danielle Hall has created highly engaging, openly inclusive brain teasers to satisfy even the most dedicated puzzlers! As an educator, I appreciate that differentiation is automatically built in as readers ‘level up’ by solving increasingly challenging logic, wordplay, and math brain teasers. This book is a must-have for every home, class, and school library!” ―Sheila Frye, upper elementary teacher
“As a teacher, I love that these puzzles are so interdisciplinary! Students have to shift back and forth between solving math equations, logic puzzles, and word games. The games build on each other to boost students' confidence and then to help them sharpen their skills as they go. Such a great all-around brain games book!” ―Megan Forbes, middle school English teacher and blogger at Too Cool for Middle School
