Review
4.9/5 Stars on Amazon. 1. "This is without a doubt the best book I have found for adults working with children and Common Core math. I spent a lot of time at the library trying to find something that was user friendly, clear and concise and would provide adult support to a second grader. The library books were all too long on theory and short on actual, simple explanations and most importantly, examples! I wish schools would have this available, for parents and others who provide support to children, to preview and even check out for a couple of days so they could use it with their child. The second grader in my life, has made gigantic leaps and is doing most of his homework with minimal supervision. He is excited about math, which is the best result of all. Seriously, this book is worth the price, I can't recommend it too highly!" -K.B. Portland 2. "This book really helped me help our son. I get it now! A coworker suggested this book for me and it is really helping us understand more. This is not the way we learned math but now we can follow along and help our son." -T.S.B. 3. "The absolute BEST way for parents to deal with the meltdowns that can come from math homework....I'm talking about the adults not the kids! Great job and an invaluable resource for interested parents." A.L.
