This is a great book to get back into the jargon of mathematics after several years. I am enjoying this book so much I read it every night! Hahahaha! :-) Ok, well there is a grade attached to that motivation too, but ah well!

This book is a pretty good resource for elementary teachers. It helped me greatly in the geometry portion of the book. I have a better understanding of geometry and how to do certain geometric functions.

Makes my brain hurt- so simple, yet so complicated. I'm back to thinking about math in my sleep and in the shower. Ha!!!

I did not find this book very helpful...I got more help from a math-pro brother-in-law. Thank heaven for him, because I thought the book was useless.
