This isn't everything, but it's a quick overview of many of the essential information that Adults run into in real life, and that every School Student needs.

It just has so much stuff that I couldn't believe it. It costs about 10 smackers and that's all.

Also very important, is that this book is part of a whole "Yellow Pages" series.

They have books on Reading, Science, Writing, Social Studies, and Computers and a few others.

I intend to have every one of these for my grandchildren.

The people who have compiled this data deserve some sort of public recognition.

Most books with this much information cost over 20. Sure there are other good books, but not at this price!

. I wish I had found this when I was homeschooling my own children.

This handy reference guide is a must for ALL parents with students in grades 4 through 7. The math terms are defined in user friendly words, with ample diagrams and pictures. As a retired teacher, with my own private math tutoring business, I use it in every math session. I also suggest the parents purchase it for further use, at home, to help with homework.
