A lot of history about math is covered in this book. It focuses on how your brain processes numbers and logic and skills to use. Multiple puzzles and brain teasers are throughout the book that can appeal to students and engage them in learning. The answers to these can be found in the back. As a teacher, this can be a great book to use for maybe warmup questions to get students to think critically, and the answers in the back can help check your answers. ( )

Obviously I'm not the target market for this book but it did seem like it could be useful to at least give a different perspective than school. But it was a little annoying at points as well. Not sure that it was completely well researched but worth a shot if you need some way to encourage some child in math. ( )

If books like this existed when I was in primary and middle school, I think my relationship with numbers would have been a lot different.I was so entertained with the material of the book and even tried doing the activities. the vivid colors and the small cartoons give so much personality to this book. It has a little bit of everything and I loved seeing how our brain works the optical illusions and the mazes. ( )
