Math Appeal: Mind-Stretching Math Riddles

40 pp. | Scholastic | February, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-439-21046-1 $$16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Harry Briggs. With its goofy puns, crisp digital artwork, and innovative approach to problem solving, Tang's fourth book of math riddles, geared toward second through fifth graders, is a satisfying addition to the series. Rhyming couplets ask readers to calculate sums of objects (chili peppers, clams, etc.) by using strategies such as searching for patterns or first grouping, then subtracting. Annotated answers for all puzzles are provided at book's end.
