MindGames: Pattern Games

MindGames: Pattern Games by Ivan Moscovich

Think outside the box! The puzzle master is back. Ivan Moscovich continues the educational Parent's Choice Award-winning MindGames series with two new puzzle and activity books for kids ages 8 and up. Beginning with the game of Queen's Standoff on the cover - a one- or two player challenge inspired by the game of chess - here are 23 ingenious puzzles based on patterns that stretch the mind. Guide a tricky laser beam through six blue boxes, discover the difference between perfect, and imperfect squares, decipher codes, test a friend's perceptions, play with polygons. And prove the famous Pythagorean Theorem. Bring a pencil, but remember - (1) you don't have to be a whiz to play, because (2) the most important skills you'll need are curiosity and an open mind. In Pattern Games, Mr. Moscovich introduces one of the newest areas of mathematics, the science of patterns. The Tower of Triangles and Starfish Sammy, Two-Tall Paul, Crazy Crayons and Goblins Getaway-in 2-D and 3-D, involving numbers, logic, perception, and imagination, these puzzles play on the fantastic variety of patterns around us. All solutions provided in the back, of course!

We have the other books in this series available in our Math Books section.
