Everyone thinks kids hate math. But the truth is, kids don't hate
math--they hate worksheets! Writing down equations takes fine motor
skills that young children haven't yet developed, making the process of
learning math difficult and tedious. Math done mentally, or verbal math,
makes math fun. Children see math problems as a game and a challenge. In
the second edition of this pioneering educational bestseller,
handwriting is removed from math problems to help children cement
fundamental mathematical skills so that they may solve problems without
having to do any writing at all. Developed as a supplement to
traditional math education, the lesson is completely comprehensive,
step-by-step, and leaves no area undone.
The first book of the series introduces children to the basic concept of
adding and subtracting, and works its way up to math problems involving
numbers with double digits. The book is meant for children between the
ages of 5 and 7.
