Okay, not really ... but it does help you see HOW math is useful and why some of the rules work the way they do.

Good on her!]]> 5 0 false false Wed Sep 10 16:25:50 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 10 16:25:50 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Thu Aug 21 06:36:03 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 11 07:52:21 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Nov 13 02:35:29 -0800 2009 Wed Jul 01 15:05:28 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 15:06:24 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 13 07:04:00 -0700 2008 Tue May 26 15:33:46 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Sep 03 21:17:07 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 03 21:17:40 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Oct 20 10:35:29 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 20 10:36:09 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3335529
