Unlock the Mystery to Math
HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA
Introduction
Why are the USA math scores one of the lowest internationally? If we could unlock these mysteries, then there would be hope.
I have been asked, "Who is this math book for?" The information in this book has been presented to middle school, high school, college schools and older. The response has been, "Oh My Gosh! I didn't know that before." It was an eye-opener for many students and adults.
I was curious to know how students felt about math. On a sunny spring afternoon, I visited a college campus in Los Angeles, Califonia. The responses varied wildly to the question "HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT MATH?"
"I LOVE math!" exclaimed a bright-eyed girl. She could not contain her enthusiasm. Next to her was sitting an older gentleman stating, "Well, math is necessary. It's needed in many areas of life."
Moving through the campus a student let out a big yawn and said, "Whatever."
Another student yelled, "I HATE IT !!!"
Continuing on, a young lady sitting alone on the grass said, "It's scary". I get so nervous each time I have to take an exam. That's why I don't do so well. "
Close by, another girl responded, "I cried a lot because I just didn't get it. I tried to understand it. I would stay up late at night to study for a test but it just didn't help."
To others, math was just a hopeless, useless subject and gave up.
We can probably relate to these students. Maybe one time you had similar feelings about math. Whatever our feelings, there is hope for a better undertanding of math.
While tutoring, it became obvious there was a missing step. The material in this book was applied and as a result students had a greater appreciation for math.
In the back of the book are tests (1st grade through high school). Are you brighter than a grade school/ high school student?
The book is 96 pages with full color cover and inside pages red, shades of red, grey and black. There are over 100 illustrations, charts, graphs in the book.
