Title: Not A Game In Sight
Review: This book has explanations of how math works but does not contain MATH GAMES FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL. It has sections titled "Math Camp" that give example questions for the concepts discussed earlier in the chapter. No middle schooler I have ever taught (in over 25 years of classroom experience) would consider doing word problems a 'game'. Practicing math facts and skills needs to be motivating for all students but for middle school students in particular it is a challenge to find a game that they want to play that also teaches them. The Math Camp format is not that. The title of this book is misleading. If you are looking for practice questions and techniques for teaching specific skills, it would be moderately helpful.
