Synopsis

A significant number of students and adults readily admit that they don't like math. And who can blame them when math is often presented as a cluttered mess of memorized rules and procedures?

Making Friends with Numbers seeks an alternative approach.

Rather than focusing exclusively on memorizing essential addition and multiplication math facts, this workbook uses the need to master essential facts as a unique opportunity to introduce mathematics as a creative thinking activity. Memorization can be important, but it is just one dimension of a rich network of connections, patterns, understandings and applications that can reveal the structure and interaction of factors and develop a strong number-sense in students.

So instead of another math drills session with your kid that might end in breakdowns and tears, try something different! Try something that has proven to both be EFFECTIVE and FUN for our young learners.

"My 8-yo son absolutely LOVED it. He'd complain about all the rest of his school work, but he couldn't wait to work in this each day. (In fact, I recently overhead him telling his younger sister that he wishes he could do it again!) "

"My 10 year old son LOVES this book. It's a great supplement to the math we do and it's more "fun" than some of the other things."

"Really helped my kids get away from skip counting. In only three weeks they have memorized multiplication facts and enjoy doing the sheets."
