Worth if for "Modes of Thinking" chapter alone
The explanation of the 3 modes of thinking about arithmetic is excellent. By far the clearest I have ever seen, and makes sense with what I have seen. I has already helped me understand my child's approach to math. Although kids now seem to learn more and faster than before, so this book may no longer cover K - 3rd grade (unless you are home schooling and hold the pace). It is well worth more than the ... price. 28 pages. clearly written.

A Homeschool Classic...should be read by everyone
Ruth Beechick is a comforting voice of confidence to new homeschoolers and math-phobics. She made me feel equipped and prepared to introduce math skills to my children. This book is worth every penny and more for the fun ideas, using basic household items, and the wise counsel. You would have to dig through volumes to get this kind of quality information, otherwise.

Excellent little book every parent should have!
This book clearly explains why teaching 'real world' math first, before beginning the laborious process of writing abstract concepts, helps children to excel and creates a love of math. I wish I had this book years ago!
