Thank you!
Parents began to write me notes saying that their children were doing their
homework as soon as they got off the school bus-- without adults nagging them!
And, best of all, because they were practicing basic arithmetic on a regular basis,
their math skills dramatically improved! My students could recall basic math facts
more quickly, their computation became more accurate, and their scores on the
state math test skyrocketed!
That's why I decided to compile my math riddle worksheets into a book and share
them with you!
However you use these math worksheets, I know they will help your kids master
the math skills they'll need throughout their lives. I wish you, and your students,
great success!
Sincerely,
Tim Wei
