If you try to solve logic puzzles or maybe Sudoku in a puzzle magazine, do you ever check out the extra pages that actually teach you strategies for solving those sorts of puzzles? This book takes that kind of approach to solving word problems, and, strangely enough, it often works! Useful for homeschoolers.
