Hello. Has anyone used the Mathmania books from the Highlights company? Just wondering if they are worth the $4.49 plus S&H.

Thanks in advance for any input!

I have a bunch of these, as my father gave my dd a subscription for her birthday one year. When she pulls them out, she enjoys them, but they tend to get forgotten about. I think they're really cute, and make math fun.

Is it worth it? I am glad I have some.

I like to bring them to restaurants and such when we have down time. My boys (6 and 7) have fun looking at them and working on the puzzles.

That said, I did cancel after a few months because they were not doing them enough to justify the continued cost for us.

I have a feeling it depends on the child because I would have LOVED something like this as a child.

I think you can try them for the cost of shipping and handling (that's how it used to be) and see how your children like them.

My son had a bunch of these when he was younger. He always loved them. We used them for car rides or waits in the dr office. It is a great, educational way to pass the time.
