A Parent's dream come true

This was an excellent book for me, the parent, AND for my child. We referred to this book many times throughout the 4th, 5th and 6th grades. I only wish they had one for high school!

Perfect reference for 4th to 6th grade math

This is exactly what the title says it is... Everything you need to know about math homework. My daughter and I used it all last year when she was in 5th grade. At first, I was the user; later she would start looking up her own answers. For homework, she was given math worksheets that would reference something just covered in math class, such as, the associative, or the commutative property, or the formula for finding the area of a triangle. If she didn't remember the rule or formula from math class, she had a ready reference. It covers the same material as her math textbook, but this was always on her desk. The math textbook was sometimes sitting in her locker.This book is well written, and edited. It includes clearly laid out examples, with colorful graphics. The index and table of contents are complete, and make this reference quick and easy to use. Well worth the money... I highly recommend this book.

A Great Reference Guide!

This little gem continues to amaze me! Everytime I get stumped with my son's math terminology or the mechanics of a math problem I turn to this reference book and the answer is always there. If there is one book you should own to help your children with their math, this is it!

Invaluable to math"rusty" parents faced with homework

It has been a LONG time since math class for many of us busy parents. Thank goodness this book has come along with just the quick review of material we need to halp our children be successful in their homework. The book covers all aspects of middle school math that my children have covered, and it has been the first thing we reach for when confronted with a problem we can't solve. Even my children's textbooks are sometimes confusing. This book cuts straight to the heart of the matter with clear, concise definitions and descriptions. The illustrations are also very helpful in further clarifying the information. Thank you, thank you!!
