Great ideas …
Unlike the other reviewer, I found this book full of a bunch of news ideas and new games to try out for different units. Yes, some of them came with worksheets but most of them were just additional optional accessories to the games and strategies.

Worksheets don't cut it
I purchased this book for my son who is going into the teaching profession. While the book has some interesting ideas and information, it is mainly a colletion of worksheets, which, as a former teacher myself, I detest. I should have researched the contents more closely. Games and strategies? More like xerox this page and eat a donut while the students work.
