Both the style of questions and the topics covered in these books are particularly helpful for students preparing for standardized tests. Beyond test preparation, the lessons are great for developing real-life skills that require a combination of reading, thinking, and math.

I think that overall these software programs have been challenging for the kids. I really like real life math problems and these seem to mostly be that way. What I like the most is that my children are enjoying learning math. Math is my hardest subject. So to see my children enjoying AND understanding math is awesome!

I like [this book] because it challenges me with a story and then math questions about the passage. Adding money, positive and negative numbers, things like that are covered.

<i>Math Detective</i> is an ideal solution for test preparation because it does not teach to a particular assessment. It develops the skills needed to excel on new assessments. In my field testing with students in grades 5-6 and some older students in grades 7-8, <i>Math Detective</i> was highly effective in clarifying topics that students found confusing in previous years.

A great alternative to the textbooks out there today. My kids loved the problems and their twists and turns.
