Fun paper-and-pencil math activities

Can you imagine worksheets that kids love? This book has them! And,there are two more editions, for grades 4-6 and 7-12 (if you order, make sure you are getting the level you want). They are really meant for the classroom, but wherever you are, you can make copies from the book and thus use it over and over. I have used it with kids from grades 2 through 8, and it makes a wonderful supplement to the math curriculum, whether at home or in the classroom. Many students asked for more copies to take home, especially the dot diagrams for completing a pattern Critical Thinking Activities for Grades K-3 is a great resource for parents and teachers.

These books have some number of them; my only suggestion would be to go to Amazon and look up "matrix puzzles".
