Golf on the Moon

Fantastic collection of mathematical puzzles - some easy, others take much more thinking about! The sort of book that you could dip into when you want to give your brain a bit of a work out, rather than just something to read. It is also a great potential resource for teachers who like to challenge their pupils - I would have loved to have used one or two puzzles at a time to challenge pupils to have a go at solving. As well as logical problems, there are word problems and sports related ones, mathematical ones - a wide variety carefully categorised so you can decide which sort you'd like to have a go at any time, something to suit everyone, and the explanations at the end are clear, concise and very useful.

This is a great collection of fun puzzles which take some think about to solve! I'm an adult and even I struggled for a bit to work some of them out. Though the recommended age of the puzzles is 12+, I think that some primary school children would definitely have fun having a go at solving some of these. Some great mathematical puzzles to warm up the brain, they'd be great to use as a quick starter or plenary activity in a lesson.

It's a fun collection, but not one that you would want to complete from the beginning to the end - I think my brain would hurt! I had lots of fun completing a few of the puzzles from each section and looking through the others. Great ideas to use in the classroom and quick activities or extensions. A well thought out and logically intriguing book designed to challenge the brain!

This book is full of a great mix of mathematical problems. Some were easy for me, while others took a little while. I only rated it a four because some of the questions might be confusing for the younger intended audience, They could have been written in an easier form.

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review via Netgalley.
