I bought this because the title appealed to my Grand-daughter - who tutor. She thought it sounded like fun. And it does contain some pretty cute ideas for helping make geometry more hands-on. Straws and strings to make moveable triangles, games and other creative juice flowing exercises. What it lacks is a way to keep kids going. As a tutor, you want kids wanting to try the next game/activity. I've had better success on that score with other work books.
This gave me some good ideas for teaching math. However, most of the projects do not translate well into the lessons I needed. Most of the concepts are not core concepts. However, would be great enrichment activities.
This book was good in parts. I had explored many of the topics already with my grandchildren.
