When does 2+2= FUN?
When you have Amusing Mathematics...
"Bravo! My ten year old son finished his chores in record time just to get back to the math riddles and tangram exercises. The math riddles were so much fun, he thought they were from Boys' Life. The rhyming copywork pages are perfect for my first grader to learn number formation and monetary values. What a fun, value-filled package for all the children in my family. So interesting, so much fun they won't even realize they're learning! - Michelle Smith

Puzzles and tangrams - Give their brains a real workout with ancient Chinese tangrams. They might think a puzzle with only seven pieces would be easy, but they'd be wrong!
Pattern block fun -
Use the pattern block templates for some added fun. Shhhh! There's no need to tell them they're learning about geometry and fractions. They'll think they're just having fun!
Currency and exchange rates- What's Morocco's money called? How much is a dollar worth in Peru?
