Math Curse
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-05-02 Summary: Funny and Educational ... Jon Scieszka never disappoints when he puts out a book. We are huge fans of all of his picture books for younger children, but I believe that he has outdone himself with Math Curse.

This is typical Scieszka humor laced with lots of cool math riddles that makes kids think and learn while laughing themselves silly all the way through the book. It's companion, Science Verse is also a great book and we are hoping that there are some other subjects ...more

[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-12-23 Summary: A Good Tool to help your daughter understand math. ... We all knew by watching the Wonder Years that Winnie Cooper was smart. We didn't realize that Actress Danica McKeller who portrayed Winnie on TV is even smarter than that iconic Girl next Door Character. McKeller has written a book for Jr. High girls that introduces them and reintroduces their parents to basic concepts in math like factors, prime numbers, quotients, and others that tended to make my head swim in school. She does this by using illustrations that the girls can relate to like boys (What factors do the ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-12-22 Summary: Elementary schooler can't put it down ... I bought this book in "anticipation" of math troubles for my now 8-year-old. I explained to her that we'll read it together as she gets closer to middle school, but she finds it so interesting now, she's reading it as if it were prose. I suspect she's simply intrigued with Danica and all things adolescent (since most little girls idolize teen girls), but whatever it is, she's enjoying reading this book. Hopefully, we're paving the road to a good relationship with math in the near future. ...more
[5] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-12-11 Summary: My 7th Grade Students Love This Book! ... The day after I got this book I was able to use Danica's ideas to teach my 7th grade students about factoring.

My students remembered it all year. There are a lot of reasons I like having this book in my middle school math classroom (it's in the 'math library' - available for anyone to read whenever there's time). Here are a few: 1. The cover brings ...more

Cracking the SAT Math 1 and 2 Subject Tests, 2007-2008 Edition (College Test Prep)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-12-11 Summary: Handy preparation ... Pretty good and straightforward review to prepare you for the SAT II Math. I started using this as a study guide a week before the test, and it helped very much. I'm currently taking Calculus, so Precal (most of Level 2 Math) and other subjects were forgotten. This book helped me remember and review many mathematical concepts, such as the arithmetic/geometric sequences, sum of sequences, and some handy equations. If you're taking the Math SAT, it's assumed that you're almost or already done with precalculus classes. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-06-28 Summary: Does a great job ... Great math review book. Remember, it's REVIEW. The book expects you to have seen all these material in class before, but it's teaching it in a way and only little bits of parts of it: ALL you need to get a 700+ on the Math 2C/Math 1C SAT II tests. It's not saturated IN-DEPTH, so you probably WON'T get a 800 (85 percentile) with this book ALONE. Expect a 700+ if you review the whole book and the practice tests at the end. I got 710 and reviewed the book every day for 2 weeks, and took the practice tests, on SAT math ...more
