[Graham Bates · Rating 5 out of 5]

A nice study guide for middle-school-level math written for adults. Includes lots of explanations on why the principles are true and has several brain teasers and logic puzzles. Is written from a British perspective, so Americans might find some examples hard to understand due to the framing.
