No matter the age of the child (or inner child for that matter), this is a great resource! When I went for the first time, I had no idea they could have so many educational items in such a small space. They have everything from logic games to laminated posters for classrooms or for your home (especially useful for the first-time-mom syndrome ;)). It's not just math, but subjects using that part of your brain - geography, logic, etc...I agree that you need to take your time when you go in - it's fun to sort through. In addition, their employees are very helpful when looking for something appropriate for a certain age - they genuinely seem to love their job...and that's refreshing.

This is a FANTASTIC place to get math books--but not just math books! We go here to get maze books, games like Labyrinth and River Crossing, great building sets, fun pencils, rulers, erasers and other doodads, even yarn. If it's got anything to do with spatial ability, logic, or number sense, they'll have it here. They also have a wonderful website. It's a great place to do your holiday shopping.

Hello all you math geeks, math teachers, puzzle lovers, dice lovers, t-shirt collectors, game players! This is the ultimate math store in existence. It is a relatively small store on busy Roosevelt, and it only has about 4 parking spaces, but the store is bursting with educational products. You need to allow at least an hour to get a quick overview, and it's better if you can spend 2 hours there. There are curriculum books and general math reading, plus lots of puzzle books. They have great math posters and manipulatives. Tons of games and construction kits. Origami paper, math neck ties, math t-shirts, and DICE CENTRAL. You can order from them using a purchase order from your school, too [if your school has the money]. They close every day at 6:00 p.m., but are more than happy to stay open a little later is you are still shopping. When you finish, go across the street and have homemade pot stickers at Snappy Dragon.

Whenever I need an educational game or toy or birthday present I head to Math N Stuff. They always have good recommendations and I’ve never failed to please the recipient of one of their items. Some of their items may be found cheaper elsewhere, but the advice of the store staff is invaluable—it feels good to support the local business.
