5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference and resource for teachers!, May 29, 2001

By	Dana H. Pasterjak "Dana" (Palm Coast, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A sales rep gave me a copy of this book at a summer teacher workshop last year and I will not give this book up for anything! It has been a very valuable and useful tool for me to reference on countless occasions this past school year. The book has great illustrations, tables and an almanac. The charts are colorful and easy to read. I highly recommend this book for any teacher in the intermediate grades. It will not only help you keep your lessons fresh and make your planning time easier, it will also enable you to be an "expert" in mathematics in just a quick glance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another "Must Have", March 19, 2006

By	Elementary Teacher (Waldolf, MD) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Math at Hand: A Mathematics Handbook (Paperback)

This resource is a must have for any teacher or parent of students 4th grade and above. It takes abstract and basic math concepts and breaks them down into simpler steps for a clearer understanding. It makes a great companion to the resource "Math At Hand".
