Great reference for homeschoolers
We checked this book out of the library, and I love it.I recently started homeschooling my 4th grader.Teaching math has proved a challenge for me--I have trouble helping him understand key concepts.I found this book at the library and it has become indispensible.I'm now buying a copy so that I don't need to keep checking it out.

I too have found a couple of errors, but since I am referring to it, not my son, it has not been a problem.

This is the best book!
I love this book.I bought a copy for my oldest child 8 years ago to help her understand various math concepts and help with homework as needed.All three of my children have used it over the years and I am once again introducing it to my students at our local elementary school.The visual examples and wording in the book really help children to understand.The index is very thorough and allows the child to find what they need quickly.It's a great book.

Excellent math reference for 4th to 6th grade
This book provides an excellent overview of math through 6th grade. Each topic is covered clearly and concisely in 2 to 4 pages: idea overview, verbal description, formulae, picture demonstrating the algorithm, and one or more examples. Pictures clearly demonstrate the idea, and are colorful and creative, adding to interest.Descriptions are clear yet brief, as is the entire book.Does not include problems to be worked by the student.Many topics covered, including addition, subtraction, long division, factoring numbers, greatest common denominator, money, measuring, computing volume, and more. Well organized chapters and table of contents provides easy access to information required.Excelent reference to help 4th to 6th graders understand their math homework.

We purchased this book in 2006 and found no errors so far. It has really helped my daughter with her math homework.

Most helpful
We all know the feeling of "I understood there would be no math"...and it is a fact math was one of my worst subjects in school and I never did get the concept of algebra....this book was a great help in refreshing my memory of the math equations I did remember and inhelping me understand the more difficult areas...I am progressing slowly with it at my own pace and so I havent completed all the chapters but it is very good has great sample problems so you can digest the information both by numbers and words....I recommend it highly for the lay person like myself.

A great find!
If you are trying to refresh your basic math skills from high school, then this is the book for you.I have checked out several different basic math guides, including the "for Dummies" one, and this one is by far the best.It's small enough to fit in my bag, but still explains the problems well.I am doing so well with it that I am looking into the other topics that are covered by the series.

Brief Overview
This book is for overview.It cannot be a main book.But it can be used for revision purpose.

Product Description
Kids are struggling with math in school, on tests, and with homework. Parents feel stressed, helpless, and math-phobic. They struggle to encourage and assist on the very subject they are least prepared to manage: MATH.

Broken down using straightforward, simple language, this guide offers parents who are easily intimidated by math instructive and handy concepts to use when helping their students with homework or studying for a big test.

Parents banish math phobia once and for all by facing math head-on in Math for Moms and Dads. Frequently, the issue isn’t “how to,” it’s actually “what do they want me to do?” Learning the language of math in context is the first step in the right direction for helping yourself in today’s math morass so parents can help their child find his or her way out of any math quagmire.

Using a similar methodology applied in SAT Score-Raising Math Dictionary, Kaplan now focuses on the parent in this no-nonsense guide to the lexicon of math. Math terminology and key concepts are defined and decoded into regular, everyday language to promote authentic understanding of what’s at the heart of any math problem.

Other helpful elements are sample problems (with answers, so parents won’t sweat it!) broken down step-by-step; calculator tips so parents can troubleshoot technology-related concerns facing their kids; visual representations of math for visual learners; and National Council of Teachers of Mathematics standards so parents can plan for what their children are responsible for in the upcoming grade and get the help they may need in the appropriate time frame. Finally, a handy timeline detailing which ages/grades kids need to know and master certain math skills helps parents understand the overall math snapshot for the middle school and high school years ahead.

Parents (and then students) learn how to kick word problems to the curb once they figure out how to simplify the language of math with Math for Moms and Dads' easy-to-follow lexicon and resource guide! ... Read more

Houghton Mifflin California 2nd grade Homework workbook
This book is in excellent condition. It's a great book. It helps to prepare for tests, and fill in the gaps. Thank you for fast shipping.

Great Math Workbook
I purchased this book for my daughter in 2nd grade. She had difficulty completing math work at school within the time provided in class. As we all know, math comes with practice. I started off with 4-5 worksheets a day for my daughter. Now she picks this book herself and starts working on it without much fuss. Contents are very good and matches the work given to my daughter in school.

Great buy. Recommended for anyone looking to supplement math work provided at school. ... Read more

Don't waste your time or your money on this "new math"
This "new math" is the one of the WORST systems I have ecountered as an educator. This company has "enticed" school districts all over the country to adopt this system when it hasn't been successfully piloted anywhere and has no corroborating data to support their math "theories". The textsbooks were dated "2009" LAST YEAR when we received them (in 2008). The textbooks are also full of spelling errors, mathematical errors, and the teacher texts and students texts differ not only in some content but even in the page numbers. It is confusing to students and kids I had that loved math before, were reduced to tears because of this curriculums confusing and ambiguous ways of "teaching".

If only we could turn back the clock and get our old math program back- FOR A FRACTION OF THE COST! ... Read more
