wapiti Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I haven't finished it yet - skipping around so far - but it was worth it solely for the chapter on teaching word problems (not that I spent alot - got it used, cheap, on abebooks.com). I think I love this book. I tried to find the post that recommended it but I'm not even sure which board it was on. I could swear it was this one. Anyhow, thank you!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diviya Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I love it too! It was recommended by someone named Terri on the High School board, in the thread about starting pre-algebra in 6 th grade. I have to track her down to thank her too. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansrme Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 That was me. I am so glad to know you are finding it to be helpful. I have a friend who is friends with the author's family (the author died of ALS several years ago), and she attests that the children are all brilliant and highly successful in their chosen fields, so the author clearly did something right. Thank you for letting me know that you appreciate the book. Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinsfamily Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I just picked it up at the library and started reading it last night. I've only read the goal-setting part but I like it so far. Thanks for the rec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicksMama-Zack's Mama Too Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 THANK YOU! It was very timely as we are slugging our way through Larson's Algebra I, Chapter 3. I think I will use this over the Christmas "break" --:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 And thanks to you for posting this. I saw this thread the other day, and then I saw the book when I was killing time in the library and read it. It's a great book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leav97 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 There must be someone else on these boards that uses the same library as me. Every time a book is mentioned I find it already checked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In The Great White North Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 You're lucky. My library has never heard of them. And won't produce most of them on inter-library loan either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
