Children with special needs grow to love the challenge of these problems. They're like weightlifting for the brain.

[W]ell organized with thought-provoking activities in a good format. Students may approach the problems in different ways depending on their level and knowledge of mathematics. The book is appropriate for general mathematics, algebra, and geometry students.
