Test Tutor
I homeschool and used this to help prepare my 3rd grader for the upcoming STAR test.This book has three full length tests for math, the first two come with explanations and tips.My daughter took the first one and it showed me the standards we haven't taught and the standards we need to reteach.It was easy to use, friendly and good practice for standardized testing.I think it's helpful for students to see a variety of directions and formats beyond the main textbook. ...

Poor presentation
The material is presented poorly for this age group (3 -5). Too fast paced, very scant visual support, un-imaginative rendition.
It would be rather far-fetched to expect a 3-year old to look, for example, at an addition equation (5 +5 =?) and figure out the result on the fly....
yet this is a common occurrence in the video.

math DVD
Seems ok altho my child paid little attention to it - perhaps presented in a boring manner compared to some others we have ... Read more

Product Description
These brightly printed colorful charts, cover the topics taught in geometry class. Written by a skilled geometry tutor who holds a bachelors' degree in mathematics, the charts include a teaching component, and exhibit an expertise that can only be gained by listening carefully to students for many years and learning how to successfully convey information by using teen friendly language and examples. The charts include more than one hundred sketches and illustrations, including many color coded examples which help students recognize and retain the patterns of various theorems and definitions. Special attention is paid to those concepts which the experienced educator knows are most troublesome for students. Having a compact source of information helps students to overcome two of the major challenges that geometry students face, namely, to remember the many concepts presented and then, to tie them together in a cohesive and logical manner. These heavily laminated, double sided sheets, are only slightly larger than an 8½ x 11 piece of binder paper and fit nicely into the student's notebook. The student can use each chart for a fast, and effective review before tests (especially final exams), and to check the many concepts that a geometry student must retain in order to do proofs and problems throughout the school year. When the course is over, students should save their Geometry Charts to use when they prepare to take their college entrance exams. The major college entrance exams include more than a dozen geometry problems. ... Read more

Stories for Children Magazine 5 Star Review
REVIEWED BY: Wayne Walker

Most of the books that I review for Stories for Children are usually one of two kinds: children's picture books, or stories, both novels and biographies, for young people.Your Personal Math Tutor is obviously different.Researchers tell us that an area where American students are falling way behind those in other countries is mathematics.Perhaps one reason for this is the prevalence of "new math," the current version of which is often called "fuzzy" or "rain-forest" math because its purpose is geared more toward political correctness, social consciousness, and self-esteem than actually learning anything of value.I shall be honest.Math was neither my favorite nor my best subject in school.I attribute this to the fact that I had to suffer through the introduction of the original "new math" in the mid 1960s.Also, I was much more oriented toward language arts and social sciences.However, I still took algebra I, geometry, and algebra II in high school and graduated as a valedictorian, and I took set theory and modern college algebra in college and graduated magna cum laude.So even a person who does not care for math can still learn it and do well.
Everyone can easily see why accountants, engineers, computer programmers, and even doctors would need to learn math, but why should "normal" people be forced to study it?The fact is that we live in a world where everything we know is defined and described by numbers and their relationships.Furthermore, learning how to deal with different kinds of mathematical problems teaches us logical thinking and helps us to develop the skills that we need for solving various other sorts of problems.Your Personal Math Tutor is not a textbook nor a replacement for one but a supplement for math textbooks and a resource to help one have a better understanding generally of the branches of mathematics.Chapters on arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and pre-calculus explain what those areas of mathematics involve and give tips on how to study and learn them.There is an additional chapter on SAT math preparation, all written in an easy, user-friendly style designed so that parents can understand it if even if they have not done this type of work in twenty years.The author's goal is to make math interesting and fun using his "arithmetrix."
As a homeschooling father who has taught both of my sons their math, I can easily see the value of this book.However, even if your children are attending a traditional school, the book could serve as a useful tool for you to help them out and maybe refresh your own memory so that you can see some of the practical applications of mathematical principles (yes, even algebra and geometry) to everyday life.The author, a retired mechanical engineer and teacher, says, "This book is like potpourri--a little bit of this and a little bit of that.You can keep this for years and refer to it as you progress through school....This is a technical book, which can't be read like a novel.You must read it slowly to absorb the material, read it again, then practice, practice, practice!"The main index should be very helpful in reviewing specific subjects.If your children need some extra help in math, or if they just enjoy the subject, you may find this book beneficial.
