Cold Coffee Press Book Review for Down and Dirty: A "how to" Math Book by Phyllis Hunsinger

Down and Dirty: A "how to" Math Book by Phyllis Hunsinger
Student mastery of math continues to decline as demonstrated by the increasing numbers of students requiring remediation prior to enrolling in college math classes.
College professors admit that far too many students do not know how to do basic math computations.Math textbooks used in schools today spend an inordinate amount of time having students discover mathematical principles. The discovery approach is analogous to having the student learn to program a computer as opposed to learning how to use the computer as a tool. I believe math is a tool used to solve problems.
This is a Down and Dirty "How To" Math Book covering a review of the number systems and basic operations up to and including the fundamental tenets of algebra. There are "how to" instructions followed by examples. The glossary serves as the index, providing definitions and page links to words. There is also a listing of useful math terms and definitions not specifically covered in the text.Parents and students alike will benefit from this "how to" approach to mastery of basic math concepts. Parents, as they help their students with math, sometimes need a review of how to perform certain operations.
Students studying for the ACT, SAT, or college entrance exams often need a review of fundamental processes. This book is designed to review "how to" do the math.
