The explanation of the 3 modes of thinking about arithmetic is excellent. By far the clearest I have ever seen, and makes sense with what I have seen. I has already helped me understand my child's approach to math. Although kids now seem to learn more and faster than before, so this book may no longer cover K - 3rd grade (unless you are home schooling and hold the pace). It is well worth more than the ... price. 28 pages. clearly written.

Ruth Beechick is a comforting voice of confidence to new homeschoolers and math-phobics. She made me feel equipped and prepared to introduce math skills to my children. This book is worth every penny and more for the fun ideas, using basic household items, and the wise counsel. You would have to dig through volumes to get this kind of quality information, otherwise.

This book clearly explains why teaching 'real world' math first, before beginning the laborious process of writing abstract concepts, helps children to excel and creates a love of math. I wish I had this book years ago!

This book is very helpful and encouraging for those who want to teach their kids at home or even help develop their math skills. I have children in 4th gr., k, and one who is 2.5 yrs. old. I will be able to use all of this info in one form or another for all three of them. Helps you to think outside the textbooks/workbooks and in the now where kids live!!!

Goes over the stages that children learn numbers and higher math. Is helpful so that you know not to jump ahead with children and tells you signs to look for to determine when they are ready for the next stage.
