 A great investment for any math teacher! May 6, 2003

I use activities from this book almost every day. It can be used to reinforce current concepts or to review prior lessons. It covers a wide variety of topics and offers problems that are appropriate for a broad range of abilities (I teach 8th-grade math). It is a great way to engage students from the minute they walk in the door. The problems are great for challenging ALL of your students!
Basic Skills, not so basic activities June 2, 2007

I really love most of the worksheet pages in this book. This is a book full of reproducible pages. The pages are great reinforcement pages to a middle/high school curriculum, but the worksheets are not dull and boring. They use higher level thinking skills and offer a little bit of interest by including secret messages and game-type worksheets, too. Highly recommend. Great homework pages. Easy to match up the skills with your curriculum since each page focuses on a single topic.

II find these math starters very helpful. I have been using them since the beginning of school and they have been a wonderful tool to help my students get back into the routine of school work.

Works as a supplement to make students think in different ways. A must for students accustomed to rote problems such as those contained in the Saxon Series.
 not what I thought April 10, 2010

These are great except that many of them require a huge amount of background knowledge of numeracy that my adults don't have yet. I end up spending an entire math lesson on just one of the warm ups to fill in what's missing instead of just using them as a quick 5 minute warm-up.
They would be good for a higher level class, but not so great for an intermediate adult basic ed.
