    Some of the concepts covered in this book are fractions/decimals/percents, positive and negative numbers, coordinate geometry, area and perimeter, algebraic expressions, math vocabulary and symbols and more! Students learn and refresh skills by playing fun games as math comes alive in new ways. It is a great tool for parents and teachers to see where their students are thriving and where they may need help.

    The games in this book jump right into a lot of algebra, so your middle schooler should be ready to work with adding and subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions, decimals, and negative numbers. There are no "lessons" about these concepts, just instructions for each game, and sometimes a little snippet about a math concept. There are a lot of examples of how to work the problems within the games so that is helpful to know if you are working the problem right. The Critical Thinking Co. really makes learning fun with all their books. I was kind of surprised how fun doing some algebra could be with these games.

    I love teaching with games! Not only are they fun, they break up the monotony of textbooks and add what I like to call, "learning with glitter". Most of the games require only pencil, paper, and a pair of dice or a spinner. The instructions list the materials needed, the mathematical learning standards for each game, an overview, and how to play the game. There are also examples to follow, which I found to be helpful in explaining the games before we tried them. We enjoyed playing several of the games we tried. I focused on the algebra games, and our favorite was "Bingo Anyone?". Everyone loves a fun game of Bingo, and this one had a twist: The student must calculate the answer and then find it on the Bingo board. There are three different variations for this game, and we enjoyed the variety. We also enjoyed "Letā€™s Sum Up". This one required some thinking ahead, and had variations as well.

    I used this with my daughter in eighth grade. She really enjoyed the game Itā€™s Logical. FYI - Of the sixteen math games in the book, ten of them are meant to be done with two or more students. At least one required a group of four or more.
