We exercised our brains this summer with Creative Problem Solving from The Critical Thinking Co.™ !   We received the Level 1 book (for age 4 - 2nd grade) and Kory (4.75 years old) had fun working through these problem solving worksheets by thinking way outside the box! I received a physical copy of the Creative Problem Solving Level 1 workbook.   The pages are perforated if you wanted to remove them from the book.

I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. Page-a-Day Math really is needed just a page a day!  Kory (4) enjoyed learning Math and so much more with these workbooks in the Pre-K Math Starter Kit .  It has been fun so far learning math facts so Kory can build a strong math foundation.
