Number Jugglers: Math Card Games

Rating:
Summary: Number Jugglers is the most important math game in my class.
Review: I have taught a multi-age class, grades 1,2, and 3 for 10 years and have found Number Jugglers to be the most popular and useful math game in my class's math program. Children who do not feel successful in other ways in math, find a place of comfort with Number Jugglers. Children are thinking, manipulating numbers, problem solving, and practicing math facts while having a great deal of fun. Number Jugglers is solid in current good teaching practices. I found Number Jugglers easy to understand and use. Kids love to leave school with Number Jugglers as their homework. I think Number Jugglers should be on every classroom shelf and in every home.

Summary: The best math learning book ever.
Review: This book works for every kid, and adults enjoy playing the games, too! I have never seen a child try a Number Jugglers game without getting enthusiastic about math. It must be the feeling of success that comes with getting it right in Number Jugglers.

Whatever it is, Ruth Alexander has developed a truly great approach to math learning that works. And it's enjoyable enough to have at home, too. It has all the right elements of game play--adjustable for many age and skill levels, and for single or multiple users.
