What is Math Challenges : Puzzles, Tricks & Games about?

It might sound like a college math course when you see words like quantum operations, concealed distribution, topology, recombinant shapes, and probability. But actually it is just having fun, discovering eight exciting types of puzzles, tricks, and games. Start with Grid, Graph and Dot games, and with a pencil and a sheet of graph paper play variations of chess and checkers by turning the squares into new games. Then play Sum of the Parts, games where you take shapes apart and put them together again in new ways; and Vanishing Tricks, optical-illusion games where lines, squares, animals, and faces disappear. Some games are inspired by the famous one-sided Mobius loop. Then come mechanical aptitude puzzles, logic puzzles, maps and mazes, and Fancy Figuring brainteasers. Plus: the puzzles of Lewis Carroll, who, when he wasn't writing about Alice in Wonderland, created puzzles for kids. Take the challenge if you dare. 96 pages, 135 b/w illus., 5 3/8 X 8 1/4.
