Excellent book and student resource. With this book, the student can learn a lot of math concepts and at the same time enjoy and learn about chess. This book is a magnificent instrument for teachers that want to put the student on another math level. I’m a Spanish speaker, and I can’t wait to see the Spanish version of this book. I’m entirely sure this book will have a positive impact on students and will create the seeds of success in their math and chess education.

The exercises in the Chess 4 Math textbook offer a new and refreshing way for children to get excited about math. My daughter really enjoys working on all of the different exercises. These exercises are informative, but they are also fun. As a parent it’s nice to see my child interested in learning new concepts and ideas. Chess 4 Math encourages algebraic thinking, by teaching students to use symbols to represent numbers, as well as addition, subtraction, and recognizing patterns. We have enjoyed working through the Chess 4 Math textbook as a family. I would highly recommend the course to my friends and their children.
