School Library Journal Reviews
Gr 2–4—The trick with math activities is to not make them seem like homework. This brightly colored series offers 18 to 21 games and challenges involving dice, cards, household objects, and other manipulables that always feel like fun and not work. Solo challenges are interspersed with two-person games, and most activities are accompanied by a "next step" suggestion. A huge variety of numeracy topics are covered, including time, capacity, and other relatively abstract concepts. Especially welcome are stock photos of diverse children engaged in math play. Clear graphics provide guidance while dimensional googly-eyed number characters cheerlead and offer tips. There is some overlap between Let's Add and Subtract and Let's Multiply and Divide. The instructions are very occasionally complicated enough to require more than one reading. VERDICT Games that are tailor-made for practicing specific math concepts and skills.
