These Sideways Arithmetic problems may look puzzling at first, but
you can use real maths to solve them, and the answers are perfectly
logical. There are lots of clues and hints, plus all the answers are
right there in the book. Best of all, the children you have read about
in the other books about Wayside School are here to help you!
Try solving these, and more than fifty other maths brainteasers,
along with the kids from Mrs. Jewls's class. You'll learn a lot about
maths but you'll be laughing too much to notice!
