This book contains sixteen counting problems with riddles to solve them. For each riddle, a certain number of illustrated objects are grouped together in different ways. The riddle then gives a clue about a trick to count the items more efficiently than by simply counting each item separately. The book is full of colorful pictures, bright colors, and fun objects to count such as food items, snails, camels, and more. The fun quality of this book makes it ideal for teaching counting strategies that will build a great mathematical foundation for any student. The math tricks given in the riddles are explained more thoroughly in the back of the book and include the answers for each riddle so students can check their own answers. ~ Rachel S.
