Product Review Page Product Reviews & Awards

"My 9th grade boy is dyslexic and struggles in math, but is a 'Mr. Fix It.' He is hands-on type of guy. He picked it up in 30 seconds and did them all. Then he flipped through to the next page and did all of them, and then laughed that we could not figure it out." -Tricia, The Old Schoolhouse

"Balance Benders™ meets a great need of building deductive reasoning as well as building the understanding of balancing equations." -Charlene, NCTM's "Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School"

"Used as a supplement to whatever math program is being used, this book definitely provides exposure to a greater variety of math problems than endless pages of math drills." -Marissa, The Old Schoolhouse Reviewer

"This book of reproducible worksheets provides hours of logic and algebraic reasoning fun! We love, love, loved, these activities!" -Dawn, The Old Schoolhouse Reviewer

"I've seen improvement in my daughter's overall-math lessons as she has worked through the book." -Dawn, Homeschool Mom

"The beginning book just gets them hooked and wanting more." -Shauna, Illinois

"Wow, does it make you think!" -Angela, Homeschool Mom

"As the mom and teacher, I LOVE that these books really make my children think hard and stretch them to think about things and problems they have never encountered before." -Danielle, Homeschool Mom

"The kids enjoyed the challenge of these puzzles and I enjoyed each aha moment they had when a puzzle was solved. It was really awesome when they asked me if they can do more 'school work.' If you are a homeschooling family wondering how to introduce algebraic concepts, I highly recommend the workbooks." -Kristy, Nevada

"My children love these 'Bender' books; in fact, I would not be exaggerating if I said they were addicted to them. I sincerely thank you for a product that makes what can be extremely difficult skills to master an absolute blast for my children. On a side note, I would like to mention that I am a doctoral candidate in education at Northeastern University, and have recommended these products to peers and colleagues as the best of the best." -Joan, Massachusetts
