Customer Reviews

Awesome quality and service!

I unfortunately searched other bookstores and online sites until a week before my class looking for a decent price. I then checked out this site and saw the prices and they were exceptional. I also read the other reviews and was curious if I would get the same deal. I chose to pay to get the shipment even quicker and to my luck I received the book within two days. I was so excited and the cost was still cheaper with the extra fee to send it so quickly. When I received the book, it was suppose to be used and in good condition. Instead it looked almost brand new except for a couple of highlights throughout the book. Thanks again for the quick service, exceptional quality of the products, and I will definitely go through this group again!!!!!

Young Mathematicians At Work

Constructing Fractions, Decimals, and Percents by Fosnot and Dolk is a wonderful book for teachers who are trying to teach fractions and their relationship to decimals and percents. A very hands-on approach that really had me thinking about math differently. The first problem was dividing three subs for 4 children, 3 subs for 5 children, 4 subs for 5 children, and 7 subs for 8 children. Try it with your class and you will definately want to buy this book.Young Mathematicians at Work: Constructing Fractions, Decimals, and Percents
