Personal Review: Mastering Essential Math Skills: 20 Minutes a
Day to Success, Book 2: Middle Grades/High School by Richard
W. Fisher
I bought this for my son to help him review over the summer between 5th
grade math (using the Everyday Math program) and 6th grade math (when
he will be using a traditional math program.) With Everyday Math, my son
covered all the concepts that are in "Mastering Essential Math Skills," but
he learned to use different algorithms that I know from past experience the
middle school teacher will not be familiar with. For example, my son can
multiply three digit numbers, but he doesn't know how to line the numbers
up to the right, muliply the ones first, etc. He can divide, but not the way
this book teaches. I never did quite figure out how he learned to divide
with decimals, and I think his grasp on that is very weak. So I needed a
book that would cover all the main topics and show him how to do it the
way he will be expected to do it in 6th grade math.
I admit that we just started with this workbook, but I am thrilled to see that
it covers all the topics I wanted to review, and that it shows concisely and
clearly the "traditional" way to solve the problems. My son worked through
the first multiplication problem and said "OK now what do I do?" I asked
him what he meant, and he said "How do I get from that to the answer?" I
told him that IS the answer! He was amazed that it could be so simple.
My son is only 9 (he was a young 4th grader taking 5th grade math), so I
don't know about this being middle school/high school material. But I
previewed the table of contents before I bought it, and could tell that it
would suit my needs perfectly. Thanks!
