• Over the Labor Day weekend, I had a few hours to connect with my daughter and grandson. Precious time in any parents world. I gave my grandson this book as a gift. My daughter's email reaction said it best as a mother.."Dad, thank you so much for this math book! We started reading it when we got home. I like the way Danica breaks things down and makes it easier to understand math better than I had to learn it". My grandson's first grade class is studying everything in this book, making the concepts of addition and subtraction easier to grasp.As in the past, I will be buying all her other books as he advances. Yes, she is that good! Buy this book, buy all her math books and don't regret it. A strong background in math is a good thing to have for any child.
• This is my third math book by Danica that I have bought for my granddaughter. She has loved each one. This one is very helpful to me as well since it helps me understand common core--which I know nothing about! Highly recommend!
• Wow! As a third grade teacher I can honestly say this book is amazing! It is EXACTLY how I teach addition and subtraction to my third graders but Danica makes it visually appealing with fun pictures, cute stories, and games that help practice the skills. A must have for parents, teachers, and kiddos. Especially if you are a parent looking to understand the new math or have a kiddo that just doesn't seem to be understanding addition and subtraction. I plan to use it with my math tutoring groups from beginning to end. I truly hope Danica writes more because I would love one about multiplication and division to use with my learners (and my own child!)
• I purchased this book to help break down common core teaching methods so that I can help my kids with their homework - and just in general, understand how they're expected to do math these days. The visual methods I associate with common core are so different from the way I was taught that I was at a loss when my daughter would ask for help. Within days of receiving the book, my daughter (2nd grade) asked for help on a math question - I thought I knew what it was asking but was unfamiliar with the terminology, so I pulled out my new math reference and within minutes was able to explain the process. My daughter was happy to be able to do the next problem on her own without help. I see this book as an invaluable resource for parents who, like myself, are unfamiliar with current methods of teaching math. My daughter is attracted to the pictures in the book but we have to read through it together to ensure understanding.
• I was taught math back in the 70's and this new stuff was blowing my mind. I ordered this book to get some "new" basics down (new verbiage, concepts, etc). I have never been more pleasantly surprised and elated in my life. I am able to read this even while my husband watches TV. It is engaging, enlightening and very educational. I plan on sharing this with my grandson when I get finished. I look forward to more McKellar Math books!
• What a fun book for our 8 year old granddaughter. Lots of fun activities and creative ways to look at all the concepts she is currently learning.
• I bought this book when I saw the previews about the turkey sandwich analogy to fact families. My daughter is super strong in English/language arts, but I'm finding she is developing math phobia. She's in 2nd grade, and to do addition/subtraction worksheets for speed practice is painful. She also has timer phobia. She's totally into reading and writing comics, and she really responded to the comics in this book. She finds it hilarious. We were working on a subtraction worksheet that was taking way longer than I know she is capable of. I asked her to read just the orange pages of Chapter 2 How to Destroy a Turkey Sandwich Fact Families, and she just kept reading and reading and reading and laughing at the comics in the book. I'm so happy. I love the conceptual display of math in this text. I'm thrilled to see Danica McKellar so successful writing books that I'm buying for my kids. I used to see her walk the halls at UCLA in Boelter Hall like an ordinary kid as we were there the same years. Very cool.
• I'm so grateful to Danica for writing this book. Our 2nd grader is struggling with math, and we are struggling to help her understand the concepts. When I saw that one of Danica's goals with this book was to bridge the gap between 'how the parents were taught' and 'how the kids are being taught,' I knew it was for us. I can't tell you how many times my husband and I have thrown our hands up in the air trying to explain things to our daughter when the work coming home from school is broken down so differently than how it was when we were in school. The result is her frustration and ours. Since receiving the book, our daughter has wanted to read it together everyday. She laughs at the content and says, "she makes math FUN!" The simplified translation of math facts makes sense to her and to us-- finally! I'm so grateful that we'll have this book (as well as the other editions as she advances through the grades) to reference. I definitely didn't major in math, so I'm glad that someone who did has written books to help parents who want to help their kids! Thank you, Danica!!
