MATH MAGIC revised edition is for all of us who need and want to improve our understanding of math. Flansburg makes math what you may never have imagined it to be: easy and fun.

Scott Flansburg’s heartfelt belief is that there are no “mathematical illiterates,” just people who have not learned how to make math work for them. But millions of otherwise successful adults are afraid to balance their checkbooks and don’t know how to figure interest on savings or credit. Millions of students dread their math classes and live in fear of the math section of the SAT. But, as Scott Flansburg demonstrates, anyone can put these phobias to rest and deal with essential everyday mathematical calculations with confidence. Learn how to:

• Master the basics

• The real way addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division work

• Simplify calculations through estimation

• Quick-check your answers

• Convert metric measures to more familiar ones

• Figure tips, taxes and percentages- Never get short changed again!

This book made me like math!

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2017

Earth-shattering. Eye-opening. Other positive attributes.

Seriously, this book made me like math. Being a 30 year old self-confessed math idiot, I would have never believed it possible. I will be using the tools I learned from Scott's book to teach my own child and hopefully he'll never know that fear or loathing that I experienced throughout school with terrible teachers, backwards learning, and memorization that left the brain as soon as the test was done.

Math magic..

I really did not see how this would be easier to learn then what is currently being taught. Not much difference in having to remember a bunch of tricks for calculating, and the current math we know. I think this might confuse more people then it would actually help, but not everyone thinks alike as you will see with this book.

Math Magic - a whole new way to do it!!!

Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2010

Verified Purchase

I first saw Scott on a TV show where he was able to get the host to do this type of math very quickly. I was impressed. Math had not been my strong suit in school (some decades back!). I also had a very sorry ATTITUDE about math. I finally got the book, used it, and was amazed at the difference it made in both my ABILITY and my ATTITUDE. Since that time, I have regularly bought copies of this book to GIVE away to those who showed an interest and needed help. Knowledge should be SHARED and this is one super way to change how you do math, whether child or adult.

This book is a timeless classic. Everyone, not just students or maths lovers, should have a copy. This is how maths should should be taught in schools.

I bought this for my niece as a present present because I couldn't part with my copy.
