5 out of 5 stars Reviewing Basic Math Skills to Precalculus   December 3, 2008
I bought this book to see if I had missed anything on Geometry. I took Geometry in first year High School and I just wanted to review it. I find the formulas and the problems here helpful. I recommend this book for adults who knows how to read this book better. This book is not recommended for very young adults who had not taken the courses written in this book. The outline and the way the book is organized is a bit jumbled. It definitely needs a bit more structuring than just placing problems and formulas in the book. There are no explanations on how to solve the problem in full explanation with sentences and paragraphs because this book is for review only. So, I really recommend this book for adults who are just reviewing their basic math.


2 out of 5 stars Too Easy, mistakes in answer key   October 30, 2008
This is in no way a high school level book, the problems are more middle school level. Compared to other books like this, this book is too easy for anyone above the 6th grade level. It might be helpful to just have additional problems to help reinforce a topic, but this book is not very helpful at explaining much, AND I found a handful of blatant mistakes in the answer key. A parent who is not savvy enough may not catch the mistakes which would further confuse their child. I wouldn't recommend this book as a stand alone, maybe in addition to other workbooks.


4 out of 5 stars Great book   September 12, 2008
Very good book with a variety of tips, exercises and a good stepping stone for middle/High schoolers.


1 out of 5 stars Too easy for New York City middle school students   July 25, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I returned this book right away when I received it because the level is too easy, only suitable for kids up to 6th grade. At least, I'd say it does not match New York City's curriculum. My 8th grader son refused to do it and here is his comment: "Perhaps Prof. Fisher has greatly underestimated the American mind, at least, in my view. He claims this book to be suitable for students entering and in middle & high school. If, however, one proceeds to examine the material in this book, he would be greatly disappointed. From question observed from the 1st page (6+4+2=?) to the end (6-9=?), the average American would deem the book "an insult to an intelligent mind." while claiming to be for Middle & high school graders. My 9 year old sister breezed through the book. Even the commentary on the back of the book claims it would help a "fourth - or fifth - grader who is struggling in math". And so, from an unbiased point of view, recommend other books for middle and high school students."

I'm not saying this is not a good book, but if you plan to buy it for your middle to high school kid, this is not the right book. If you want to buy it as a review book for your 6 grader, it's is more suitable.





5 out of 5 stars Great Summer Practice   July 3, 2008
I am happy with this math workbook. My son likes that he only has to dedicate a small amount of time to math daily over the summer break and usually there is no argument. I recommend this book to all who want their children get ready for September!
