Reader reviews for The Original Area Mazes: 100 Addictive Puzzles to Solve with Simple Math - And Clever Logic!

From the publisher

Once you match wits with area mazes, you'll be hooked! Your quest is to navigate a network of rectangles to find a missing value.

Just Remember:
  • Area = length width
  • Use spatial reasoning to find helpful relationships
  • Whole numbers are all you need. You can always get the answer without using fractions!

Originally invented for gifted students, area mazes (menseki meiro), have taken all of Japan by storm. Are you a sudoku fanatic? Do you play brain games to stay sharp? Did you love geometry . . . or would you like to finally show it who's boss? Feed your brain some area mazes--they could be just what you're craving!
