A Kid's Review

This review is from: Contemporary's Number Power: Fractions, Decimals, and Percents (Essentials) (Paperback)

I use this book in my GED class. They do have over 20 of these bookks at class but I rather have my own. this way I do not have to return the book and if I mess up the book it is mine. It is always best to get the same book in case you have to return the book you will not have the math to work on during the summer. So this is why I rather have my own book. These math books are very very good and in the back of the book is the answers to what you work on. I know that if I have to return the book it is always best to see who sells it and buy it so I can keep on with the book. This is why I look for the matn books like Contemporary's Number Power math books by Jerry Howett they are very very good books to use to study with. To me they come to the top of the list in math books. I got the Contemporary's Number Power Math book with Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division. I did not have my education when I was a child so I go for the GED class and I need these books. I only will order and buy books that I am working with now. When I get up there in the math then I will buy that book of what it is. As of now I will stay with the level I am using now. The Contemporary's Number Power Math books are very good math books.

My daughter used this book to review for a math test for entering nursing school. It provides many many problems, examples, and answers. At the end of the each chapter there is a quiz. I would recommend this book if you need to review/learn these type of problems. After failing the school entrance test the first time, she did significantly better after extensive practice using this book and passed the second time. I am also a secondary special education teacher and use this book to provide reenforcement of concepts taught in the classroom or for review.

The Number Power series of math books are very helpful when you want to brush up on your math skills - or learn new ones. As a GED teacher, I use these in my prep classes to help adults and teens. The exercises are straightforward and clearly explained. There are lots of practice items for each concept. There are also word problems using those same concepts at the end of each chapter - very helpful practice for the GED test! Teachers and students alike will find these books useful.
