 Benefits Critical Thinking SkillsNov 24, 2009
By Home Educator
These word problems are typical Singapore style, often requiring two mathematical calculations to determine the answer. They also require the student to determine the relationship between the variables given in order to calculate the answer, this helps develop critical thinking skills. I have to think a bit to solve the problems too, fortunately detailed solutions are given in the back, not just the final answer. This is a great supplement to any math program even if a student only works through one or two questions/day.

Math ChallengesDec 24, 2010
By Linda J. Burns
Great little practice book for the above average student.
It will provide practice with multiple step; logical thinking problems.
There is also a great review on the Singapore method in the beginning.
Highly recommended.
 reaonably challenging problemsDec 08, 2011
By S. Chari
If you are familiar with Singapore math, then you'll know that they are generally at a higher standard. I was told this book is a level 4 meaning "advanced". The problems in the beginning are repetitive, i.e., after your kid get one, the next 2-3 would be walk in the park (and so on). Yes it has 70 but I'd say the "real" number is around 30. If you are working with your child then I'd suggest you work with them on the first one and then have them do the repetitive ones. Overall I'd still rate it a 3 as for about 6 bucks you are getting a handful of challenging (for US grade 5) problems.
Great Word Problems for a ChallengeApr 13, 2011
By Kayla Szokola
I teach 4th grade and this is a great book for a challenge. Would be better suited to 5th grade like recommended, but my 4th graders love the challenge. The problems follow a pattern so once I show them how to complete a problem they have several other examples to practice, great buy.
