I would recommend this book for any educator who works with grade 4 students and above. The puzzles could be used for enrichment and small-group activities. They can challenge students at all levels, build spatial reasoning, and provide space for justification of their solutions.,Nicole Shobert, University of Oklahoma,Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 5/1/13
