This book would be great to use for morning work. The puzzles are a wonderfully engaging way to improve students ability to think critically. I believe it would strengthen their skills and it would be effective as an assessment tool.

I could see pulling some of these activities out to give students practice. Maybe used as a warm-up activity.

Short puzzles for deeper thinking. Could be used as enrichment for kids who finish concepts early and need something to stimulate their minds.
