This book is written by a Cognitive Psychologist who was a member of the National Math Advisory Panel.
As a math teacher I found this to be a great book. Parents might profit from reading the summaries and conclusions in the chapters. If your child has a specific difficulty in Math, this book may be of great value to you.
If your child just has difficulty with math in school, you probably would be better off with "Visible Learning" by John Hattie. He explains that for many kids what their school is doing is not evidence based. The school system may well be the source of the problem. He goes on to detail what practices produce evidence based positive results.
I really like both of these books. I think the non-professional will be better served by Hattie's "Visible Learning".
