While the teacher in this book is hilarious. And this book does contain some mind-boggling math problems. This book is one of the many that can prove math can be fun. This book contains math problems but if you don’t get the answer the answers are on the back of the book. The illustrations are also quite fun. ( )

This book contains a mind boggling math problem on each page. The questions are all those that require estimation and major calculations such as how many glasses of lemonade would it take to fill an olympic swimming pool or how long would it take me to sign a card to send to every person on earth. All the questions are accompanied by cute illustrations and funny comments. The book explains how the answer would be found as well as giving the answer. At the back is a glossary as well as more explanations and further reading. This is a great book for a junior classroom to get children thinking about all the ways you use math in everyday life.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. ( )

Mind-boggling is right! The questions might seem basic, but the numbers that answer them are really, really big! Fun illustrations give context to the questions, and the actual mathematical process used to answer each question is included at the back, as well as metric conversion tables and suggestions for further reading. This is great fun for anyone who loves to think about crazy mathematical questions.
