Title: Isn't math extreme enough already?
Review: The problem with this book is that it assumes kids are involved in or at least interested in so-called "extreme" sports. Guess what? They aren't. I know very few 6th graders who are into mountain climbing or base jumping. The whole "Extreme" fad has gotten way out of hand. It's not even that bad of an idea for a math book to pick problems that relate more to kids, it's just the extremeness (extremity?) of the book that fails. Maybe try it with sports that people actually play, like baseball or basketball.
Is the review positive or negative?
