 Very positive June 21, 2010

This book is great at explaining all the new terminology and methods used in primary school maths these days. In particular it has made it clear to me why the new methods are used and how they help children understand maths better rather than just having to learn it by heart as many of us did.

A very easy read coverage of Primary level Maths. Presented in good bite size sections and with fun games that even my daughter (Yr4)enjoyed. She doesn't usually enjoy much maths initiated by her parents!! We all enjoyed the humorous child test sheet answers. A great informative read.

In all honesty I didn't buy this book for myself. My daughter is a student primary school teacher who discovered that maths is taught differently from when she learnt it...which wasn't that long ago! I saw a really good review of this book on a tv programme so bought it. We have both looked through it and it's amazing; simple explanations with current teaching methods...phew!

This is a must for all mums, dads, granddads and any one who wants to, or needs to, understand what children are doing at school. If you were confused at school then it will help you. Great examples of how children (and adults) get things wrong as they misapply rote rules (eg 1/3 plus 1/3 equals 2/6).
However skip the glossary at the beginning; I am totally mystified how experienced teachers could make such an elemental mistake by not putting this at the end. Several people have given up at this point. Would have given 5 stars otherwise so skip it and get a 5 star treat.
By the way it is arithmatic NOT maths.

Excellent book that will help grandparents to help their grandchildren with homework because it explains current methods of maths teaching with lucidity.
