Fun activities to ensure kids understand the concept of area and perimeter and don’t just memorize a formula. This book is full of intriguing figures (like rockets, castles, birds, and foxes) which look, at first glance, as if finding their areas would be really hard. The key, however, is in using problem solving skills to break the puzzle figures down into parts, and the book helps kids learn, step by step, that they really do have the ability to master the challenges!

These puzzles were originally published by Nasco as a book by the same title.
