This is the question we parents are always trying to answer.

It's good that children ask questions: that's the best way to learn. All children have two wonderful resources for learning -- imagination and curiosity. As a parent, you can awaken your children to the joy of learning by encouraging theirimagination and curiosity.

For Tutors and Teachers who Support Tutors
As a very busy math teacher, I always felt a pit in my stomach when I was told to make of list of students who could benefit from the latest group of volunteer tutors.Experience told me that the tutors had little or no experience tutoring and had absolutely no materials.The burden was on me to find suitable work for the students to work on while spending time with their tutor.

The regular class work was too difficult for the student to complete without my help because they were below grade level (that's why they needed tutoring) and the tutors were often so far removed from pre-algebraic concepts and modern math standards, that they were just as confused by the regular curriculum assignments as the students.So, I had to create my own materials for the tutors to use.In my spare time!

This book has a five-page introduction on tutoring in general as well as an overview of the NCTM standards and what is expected at the end of 6th grade.Then the book is divided into six sections:Numbers & Computation, Patterns, Geometry, Measurement, Data Analysis, and Problem Solving.Each section starts with an overview of the concepts to be mastered, ideas for games and other fun activities, then a pre-test, three lessons, then a post-test.There are four pages of review at the end of the book, followed by the answer keys.

This book has relieved much of my anxiety about introducing my students to new tutors.I plan to give them this book ahead of time, so that they will be well-prepared.The material in this book will provide the tutor with the background necessary to teach and enough problems and activities to help the students get caught up on their fundamentals.

While this book is geared for sixth grade and I teach seventh and eighth, it is perfect for my students who are below-grade level in their skills. ... Read more

Great Guide for SAT Math Preparation, STUFFED with exercises & examples!
I really like the way this book was designed and written to act like a "Private Tutor" for the students getting ready for the SAT Math test. Everything you need is indeed contained right in between the two covers of this book. No need to buy anything else.

You first take the diagnostic test (provided in the book) and figure out where you stand in terms of your strengths and your weaknesses.

Then you select a realistic SAT score target for yourself (through the charts provided).

And then you follow the step by step instructions to achieve that goal. It's simple as that! It's all laid out very clearly for all levels of students (has 3 different difficulty levels).

It also has like 1,000 examples and exercises! I haven't counted them one by one but this thick book with double-column pages is STUFFED with a lot of exercises and drawings and hints.

Probably one of the very best SAT prep books out there. I own quite a few of them but this one ranks way up on top. An excellent value for the money.

Excellent Book
It has step by step detailed instructions for SAT prep.As a tutor, I don't need to spend extra time to decide on what to teach.All I have to do is to follow the instructions given for each student.This book has all the necessary material (math subjects, strategies, examples and exercises).No need to copy pages and pages of study and homework material.I recommend it to everyone. ...
