Math Actions Handbook

By Ed Lyons

Teachers need this book on their desk! Written by a 20 year veteran of the math classroom with a Masters in Education, this book cuts through the noise of random rules and hard to memorize steps that confuse students, and even many teachers. Regardless of the teacher, students often need another approach so they can see the problem from a different angle. This is that other angle. Nine simple moves solve every step of every problem in arithmetic and algebra! The Math Actions Handbook is for all students, teachers, and parents who need to learn or teach arithmetic or algebra. All textbooks, all state standards, all Common Core is covered. It is not new math or clever gimmicks. Math is math, no matter how it is packaged. This is a rediscovery and translation into plain English of the nine basic concepts that are the foundation of the arithmetic and algebra that has been used in the real world for hundreds of years. Overwhelmed by all the rules, tricks, and shortcuts? Are you forced to memorize without understanding? Don't know how to explain the problem? The Handbook explains what you see in your textbook using just 9 Actions, or principles. Not sure how to do the basic operations with negative numbers? SSADDL your COLT boils everything down to 3 super simple steps that 2nd graders can do. Having difficulty with division, fractions, conversions, percents, scientific notation, polynomials? The BIGsmall action shows you how they are similar and knowing one action helps you with all those problems. You can actually begin to FEEL math and start getting comfortable and confident! Struggling with equations? The FA method, based on Actions, solves every linear equation or quadratic equation you will encounter. Stop getting lost in trying to remember what technique at which stage. The one FA method solves all those equations the same way! A visual table of contents is merged with the verbal table of contents so a problem can be recognized by sight. Problems are approached from the Action they are based on. Also, Actions are illustrated with sample problems. The Handbook seems small, but the content is actually small after you weed out all the duplicate arithmetic and algebra from the up to 10 years of regular textbooks. It is hard to remember things you do not understand. The 9 Actions focus on understanding. This is not new math or a collection of tips and tricks. The Handbook shows you how every step in every problem comes from the same fundamental concepts. Parents and teachers, keep this book with you to help you fill in your math gaps. Use it give the full explanation of that confusing homework assignment. The Math Actions Handbook truly gets you back to the basics and gives you confidence! Why wasn't this discovered earlier? Why aren't all the curriculums re-written by now? Because the nerds already know these things by feel and intuition, so they have no need to explain them. The average teacher and student is overwhelmed by all the random rules, so they cannot see the patterns. I live in between the two. I am a math nerd who took the time to figure out the patterns so the common person can comprehend them. Read the book. You'll see and understand!
