(4) 4-6 Math for Fun series. Illustrated by Tony Kenyon. These books offer step-by-step instructions for hands-on activities, which vary in difficulty and are most suitable for upper-elementary students. Sizes contains a few misleading illustrations and suggests using old burned matches to simulate fences--perhaps not the best idea for unsupervised kids. However, both volumes are useful resources for teachers in search of simple projects to supplement their math curriculum. Glos., ind.

(4) 4-6 Math for Fun series. These volumes are a useful resource for math teachers seeking a variety of engaging, hands-on activities at different levels of difficulty. The books include instructions and hints for each project and suggestions for related activities. Occasionally directions, diagrams, and full-color illustrations are unclear, and answers are not always included--making the books less accessible to younger, inexperienced mathematicians.
