"Really helpful." Year 6 UK pupil
This is a clear, practical book set into sections including: number bonds, addition and subtraction, maths vocabulary, multiplication and division, rounding off, numbers till 100, ordinal numbers, place value, fractions,decimals, percentages, time, time speed and distance, length, mass and volume, area, perimeter, ratio,averages, algebra and money. It is aimed at the American schooling system, but is also relevant for the UK Primary Maths curriculum as well. Tweaks can be made in teaching the pound sign for dollar sign - which is not a big deal. Visual methods are included and shows colourful, alternative, step by step approaches and layouts for numerical concepts which may help many struggling learners, not just those with dyscalculia, dyslexia and ADHD. It is a useful "dip into" guide for both classroom teaching and individual programmes. As a "specific learning difficulties" teacher, I used it this year with some individual students with their Year 6 SATs revision. They found the book "really helpful," they "liked the colours" and "I understand that now!" Only minor point was that it still needs sections on angles and protractor skills! Definitely one for the bookshelf for me!

Nice ideas to learn math. Used it for myself to enhance my basic math abilities. Wonderful to use with children having difficulty learning math

Book of Visual Aides
Not a curriculum, not a workbook, it’s a book of visual aides to help students who need frequent reminders. I work at a school for students who have ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, etc and look forward to using this with my students.

Nope
It's kinda like notes or a cheat sheet. There are no instructions on how to use the information in the book, how to teach or learn, etc. It needs a lot more context, practice and examples.

The things most useful are space and time relationships, and the days per month/minutes per hour conversions toward the back
This is an excellent elementary visual aid that displays relevant information in a clear and concise fashion. There are no problem sets or exercises in this book but it is a handy reference guide all students can benefit from. It more or less is a ‘grammar book’ for elementary mathematics (basic algebra, arithmetic, visual geometry). I find it most useful as a refresher when going through more advanced texts. Not everything in this book is required for someone interested in mathematics, but a firm grasp of the material will help anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the most

Great reference for teens and adults with ADHD who want to review math basics.
I like the content structure, building new skills upon the previous one. I purchased the ebook for convenience, but the formatting of fractions is off. I'll buy the hardback as well.
