This is a workbook to work with an individual child. It is divided into three parts: Patterns, Imagery and Logic. I will list some of the primary exercises but not each one. Most of the Patterns are connecting dots to make repetitious shapes which become pretty complex, writing numbers to recognize patterns (all numbers ending in 5 etc.) and other exercises. The Imagery part involves figuring out if shapes are the same (slightly rotated, little different). The Logic has Venn Diagrams, some sequence, same or different. It progresses from easy to hard. Your child should be able to write out numbers from 1 to 100. I used this book with a bright 4 year old. She was able to do a few pages by herself, but for most of the book she needed extensive help from me, there are a few pages we left unfinished for now. This book will help your child to start thinking outside the box.
Good teaching aid for children March 24, 2009

This book is good for determining if your child can see patterns, recognize images that are oriented differently as well as recognizing slight differences. The last section is logic and is good critical thinking skills. My first grader loves the book and does not want to stop at two pages....he thinks of it as a game book. It's nice when learning is fun.
Great book, over the years, over the grades October 10, 2006

This is one of the few books that I have been able to use for high level kindergartners and in the second half of the year,and I've also used in first through third. I love it because the activities use so many diverse
critical thinking skills. This is not an arithmetic book. This book helps children develop basic thinking skills and problem-solving abilities. It fits nicely as a supplement to any math program.

I am dispointed that most content of this book is not challenge enough for my sons, one kindergartener and one second grader. It could be better off for pre-schoolers.
Kids love it! August 16, 2000

I supplement my math curriculum with this book in my 1st grade classroom. The students love doing them and ask for more. There is something for all types of learners-- the ones who aren't "math stars" and also the "math stars." I have used the other books by the same author for grades 5 and 7.
