Customer Reviews

Great basic math review!

Great basic math review! Topics in this book are named appropriately: The Sales Tax, The Tip, Making Change, Salary Deductions, Extending Recipes, Figuring the Areas and Volumes of Bowls and Pans, then an Exam where you can see how much you have learned. Then there is an answer key to the practic exercies and exam. In each section, say "Ye Olde Eat Shoppe: The Check", the book gives you a situation, then a menu. Then they show a sample check. Finally, there is a practice exercise about reading and calculating checks/bills. Then the book goes on to sales tax, tip, making change, and so on. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn just the basics of math to get by in math. I would definetly not recommend it to someone who is in algebra II or beyond because it is just to easy, unless you don't know how to balance a checkbook or deduct a paycheck, etc.
