easy to understand and teach

This is a wonderful way to understand history with a biblical view. Even my 10 year old was doing advanced math even though this was meant for his high school sister. Thank you for allowing me to elaborate on this book. Lisa

Exploring the World of Mathematics by John Hudson Tiner

Since I was taking College Algebra this summer, I picked up the book, Exploring the World of Mathematics, to read in order to supplement my understanding of math. Great choice! Not only did I learn more about mathematic principles but I learned more about the history of math, how math applies to everyday life, and even how math is used in scriptures! I suggest that sometime during your child's 5th-8th grade years, you go through each chapter with him - maybe as a summer course or one day a week on Friday. Most kids will like the book, too, as it teaches them how to solve logic problems that can fool their friends! Like this one: Have your friend secretly choose a number from one to ten. Tell him to add six to the number, double the results, and divide his answer by four. Next subtract half of the original number. When he is done, you can tell him what his number is 100% of the time. You'll have to read the book to find out how!
