Математика с удовольствием! (Полезные книги для родителей)

by Rob Eastaway

«Эта книга поможет вам решить обе проблемы – и изменить отношение ребенка к математике, и понять ее самим. Мы доступными словами объясним вам те разделы, с которыми столкнется ваш ребенок в средней школе. Во многих случаях мы расскажем, как связаны математика и реальный мир, а говоря о более абстрактных темах, постараемся объяснить, в чем их смысл.
А еще мы предложим подходы, которые заставят вашего подростка с удовольствием заниматься математикой – и общаться с вами».

Reviews

[Lthmath · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book looks like a good read for parents, it gives good examples and tips on how to help your pupil with specific maths topics they encounter at school. You have to be careful that it is based on the UK curriculum, more specifically English, but it works for other systems too.

It also offers interesting questions and general exam type questions, which are good. Also, it offers puzzle and other activities ideas.

Generally a good read. The only problem I had with it was the fact that it gave me the feeling that everything in maths class is extremely hard. For every higher topic, the words "hard", "difficult" or synonyms are used to much. This might be a personal problem for me, but I found it a little annoying from time to time.

Дійсно із задоволенням, якби ж то так пояснювали в школі.
Багато нового для себе, і то не лиш tips and tricks як досягти розуміння дитиною базових концептів математики. 5 з 5.
Помилка у верстці чи у перекладі - т.зв. головоломки відсутні у книжці, а розв'язання є.
