Buying Mental Math was a wise purchase. It was easy to use

Mental Math was an easy book to use. I learned alot from it in a very short time. I am going to show some of the short cuts to my children.

Good book.

It is a good book. My sisters and I had fun. We like to test each other on new stuff that we learned. Jimmy and Katie and Janie T. San Francisco, CA

Easy for students and adults to use. Fun too!

I bought this book for my children to use. They used it and they were trying some of what they learned on me. I wondered how they got to be so good at it in such a very short time. They easily explained to me how they did the computations mentally. I was so impressed that I went to use the book myself and I found out why the book was so popular with the kids. I even tried some ideas on them. The book held a few suprises for me. For example there was a number memory trick and a calendar trick that I have used to amaze my kids and husband. The most important thing that the book has done is to give my kids and myself included more confidence with math. One of the teachers at my daughter's school is now using some of the pages with her class. It's a book that has much to offer. For a math book it held by interest. It makes a great gift!
