Awesome Math Problems for Creative Thinking Carol R. Findell, M. Katherine Gavin, Carole E. Greenes, and Linda Jensen Sheffield (2000)
These are a set of 6 soft-covered pocket books (grades 3-8) that were written just for students and are filled with the favorite problems (50 in each book) of the authors. What is great about these problems is that you get to use the math you know in different ways. You learn lots more about math, too! You can take the books with you wherever you go – traveling, at recess, under the covers, even over email - because you’ll find you just can’t stop looking for the solutions to these fun and challenging problems.
