Loyal Customer –
Math Rules is absolutely wonderful. It really meets the math abilities of gifted students, and it also helps regular students use critical thinking. My students enjoyed the math enrichment. My students were very enthused during Math Rules time! They took pleasure in completing the daily activities. They really liked that there was not a lot of words for them to read. They liked that there were a lot of pictures to use to help solve the problems. Math Rules gave them a real strength in understanding math. Some of my students were displaying logical thinking and reasoning skills.
I do suggest that you don’t use this book until half way through the school year when student have gained most of their math skills and objectives. This book should be used to build upon skills they are already mastered. I used this book the last month in school.
I highly recommend this book to any teachers or parents who want to challenge their kids in critical thinking and problem solving. It makes kids look at math problems in a different light. They have to change things and manipulate things in order to come up with reasonable answers. I think my student began to really value math and problem solving. My students learned to communicate and express themselves mathematically. They were able to explain how they figured the answers out and come to their final answer. That’s what I loved the most about using this book with my students. They enjoyed the option of working by themselves, with partners, or in a group
