- "We found the 1st problem quite easy as the numbers were small.
The second problem involved £'s and generated much more discussion.
P7 love this site." - Jazlyn, Nice Website!

- "I think it's great! I just wish they had different problems for older age levels. I'm in the 8th grade and my teachers give this for extra credit every week. (we only get 1 extra point per week). Some days it's hard and others its super easy. I just hope they find a way to balance it out. Great resource, though!"
