Math Wizardry For Kids / Science Wizardry For Kids

The math book is laid out similarly to the science book. I loved that the math projects and activities were sometimes outdoors. There seemed to be a wide variety of methods for exploring math which would appeal to a variety of different learning types. There is some hands-on and building activities, some writing or drawing activities. There are lots of math games to play in new ways. There are illusions and patterns to recreate. It is just a really neat book of ways to experience math at around a 4th or 5th grade level in a very hands-on and real-life way. Younger children probably won't appreciate this book as much as the science book but there is no shortage of opportunities for learning at a lower level, as well.

Bottom Line: These books are such a fun resource for any math and science curriculum. They could probably be used as curriculum, alone, very successfully. But they definitely will liven up any rote or book work and bring your studies to life and put them into action. I absolutely loved these books as resources that not only I can turn to but that I can hand to my kids to use on their own. These are keepers!
