Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The greatest book ever!This book is great and can be enjoyed by people who like math and those who don't. I read it to my fifth grade class and we laughed so hard that we had to read other books by Scieszka and Smith. We are true fans and look forward to new releases by the two. P.S. If you liked this book, check out the Time Warp Trio series. You'll love them too! Rating:  - Fourth graders really responded!I shared this book with fourth graders (I am a school media specialist/librarian) and they LOVE it. They check the shelf daily to see if a copy is available and fight over it if it is there. Possibly works best with adult introduction, but it's FUN! Rating: - Great book, but Amazon.com has reading level listed wrong!I have a computer science degree, so have taken a LOT of math, and enjoyed most of it. My two children, ages 9 and 11, have mixed feelings about math. All three of us enjoyed Math Curse immensely. The reviewer who said it would alienate children is dead wrong; and the one who complained about repetition must be missing a lot of the book. There's new surprises on every page. Even the price on the jacket is funny! One problem: Amazon.com recommends this book for ages 4-8. That should be corrected to grades 4-8. It's definitely not for the 'Goodnight Moon' set. I'm about to ignore the age/grade recommendations, anyway, and buy a copy for my math-loving teenage nephew. I'm betting he'll get a big kick out of its irreverence and ... Read More: Rating: - I love this bookI'm a math major and during my classroom observations, I read this book to 4th graders and they loved it. The teacher ask me to stay and read it to the 5th and 6th graders. The book is illustrated beautifully and it really makes students and adults understand that math is a part of our every day life. I love the way the authors relate every aspect of the book to math: the price of the book is an addition problem, the price is also in available in binary, it's for ages >6 and <99!!! The fact that Mrs. Fibonacci is her teach is just too cool! I've become a math lunatic myself. Thanks to the authors for such grand creativity! Rating: - math is fun!!!I read and reread "Math Curse" to my 8 and 10 year old with relish. We tried to answer all the puzzles, laughed at the absurdities, and generally had a wonderful time. I am a huge advocate of anything that makes math enjoyable, and I was particularly impressed by the author's ability to introduce higher math concepts without any fanfare. We have ransacked the local library for more from this author, and we have not been disappointed. This one is a keeper! |
