A good little math DICTIONARY

I thought that this book would give strategies on how to help my child excel in math. It definitely is not what I'd imagined. In actuality, it is a math dictionary. It is written simply and concisely and is pretty easy to understand. The book even includes some practice exercises. It's a wonderful book to review forgotten math terms and simple concepts. However, it was missing two definitions that I needed help with: array (what on earth is it and what is it for?) and canceling (in fraction multiplication or division). A little coverage on Roman numerals would have been very nice, too. It definitely wasn't what I expected from the title. Most of all, I really wanted some help on showing my child how to multiply numbers with multiple digits..I thought that this book would take a linear math explanation approach with handy hints and tips to make basic math basics easier. I was quite disappointed in that regard.

Invaluable Resource for Parents

If you're like most parents in their late thirties and forties and its been more than 20 years since you've done any math, this book is an invaluable resource when you child asks you for help with his or her homework. For example, do you remember how to solve a problem with negative exponents? If not, get out the book and look up "Exponent" under "E," and there will be a simple explanation. Thank you Brita Immergut!!!

"Math's Martha Stewart (only fun!)"

Brita Immergut makes math fun! And accessible. There's not much more to say. Except that her publicist should be out trying to book her on every day time talk show in America. She's turned something difficult into something that seamlessly draws kids and parents closer together, and make them smarter in the process. The author deserves a platform and, even more, the huge audience of families who want to learn together. Buy this if you don't just want to work with your kids on math but want quality time together.
