Rays Arithmetic Series (8 Volume Set) 4 reviews
Joseph Ray
Mott Media, 1985
The best texts for the best price
Ray's Arithmetics offers the best of all I liked about other popular homeschooling programs (and more) at a fraction of their cost. The lessons are sensible and practical, and they will take us through the eighth grade, from learning to count and read numbers to doing college-level business math. The teacher's guide, which is written by Ruth Beechick, provides an outline and tips on ...

Young Children Reinvent Arithmetic: Implications of Piaget's Theory (Early Childhood Education Series ...3 reviews
Constance Kamii, Leslie Baker Housman
Teachers College Press, 1999
Kamii shows how children think
It's helpful to have at least a passing acquaintance with Jean Piaget's theories before reading this book, but it's not necessary. Kamii shows in so many many ways that the thought life of young children is different from our own. Not only should this be required reading for all Kindergarten through second grade teachers, but also for those politicians and political pundits whose back to ...

Arithmetic the Easy Way7 reviews
Edward Williams, Katie Prindle
Barron''s Educational Series, 2006
I PASSED THE TEST AND GOT THE JOB!
I work for a major corporation that requires employees who apply for other jobs within the company, to take and pass the "Universal Test Battery". A part of this exam is arithmetic, including addition, subtraction, division, multiplication and percentages. I am a 54 year old who has been using a calulator for 30+ years! This book is indeed a 'workbook' that reviews all arithmetic and clearly ...

The Devil's Arithmetic1 review
Scholastic, 2000
A very moving account of the realities of the Second World War in Eastern Europe
It continues to astound me that there are people who deny The Holocaust. In some sense I can understand it because it is so difficult to believe that such a thing could have been done as a part of official state policy. Nevertheless, the documentation is so overwhelming that the people who deny it look like pathetic fools.
This story describes the events in one of the camps, but from a unique ...

Thinking Mathematically: Integrating Arithmetic & Algebra in Elementary School 2 reviews
Thomas P. Carpenter, Megan Loef Franke, ...
Heinemann, 2003
A Must for Elementary Teachers
2+3=5+4??? What kind of thinking would make a child think this is true? This book skillfully opens your mind to the kinds of erroneous thinking that trip young students up as they begin to study algebraic principles. It's a real eye-opener into common mathematical misconcepetions to watch for and help children through in the elementary grades.

Sideways Arithmetic From Wayside School 15 reviews
Louis Sachar
Scholastic Paperbacks, 1994
Fun, but challenging
As someone who has always been a math person, I loved this book when I was in 4th grade. I was able to do the problems in it and thought it was a fun different approach to learning about math and using logic. I think that this book can be still a fun brain teaser even for adults, as I am one now :). I would say that for many younger Sachar readers this book has a high chance of being over ...

Arithmetic and Algebra Again, 2/e5 reviews
Brita Immergut, Jean Burr-Smith
McGraw-Hill, 2005
What I've been looking for....
This is a very well-thought-out book. I've looked at many many math books, looking for one with good, clear explanations. This one is deceptive - at first glance it looks just like any other math book, but this is what I was looking for. For example, the explanation of why we invert and multiply when we divide fractions is clear and understandable - few other math books even bother to try to ...

The Devil's Arithmetic (Puffin Modern Classics)269 reviews
Jane Yolen
Puffin, 2004
Courtesy of Teens Read Too
THE DEVIL'S ARITHMETIC by Jane Yolen is required reading at my school, as it is in many middle/junior high schools across the country. I've been meaning to read it for several years but never did, until my son read it this year as an eighth grader. He insisted I read it. How could I resist that?
Hannah is celebrating Passover Seder with her family. It's the same thing every year. Grandpa will ...

Lessons for Introducing Fractions: Grades 4-5 (Teaching Arithmetic) (Teaching Arithmetic)2 reviews
Marilyn Burns
Math Solutions Pubns, 2001
Wonderful approach!
We homeschooled for upper elementary grades, and my daughter simply did not "get" fractions. I tried several standard curriculums before investing in this book. By the end of it, my daughter was finally solid on fractions.
Although the book is written for classroom use, it is easily adapted to working one-on-one. It starts out by having the teacher and student create their own sets of ...

Unique read on the Holocaust
Yet another good read to remember the Holocaust. We should never forget and this reminds us yet today that the human spirit is more powerful than any crazy dictator.
Highly recommend.

Digital Arithmetic (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Architecture and Design) 5 reviews
Milos D. Ercegovac, Tomás Lang
Morgan Kaufmann, 2003
A good book by a good Professor
I had taken the course "Digital Arithmetic" under Prof. Ercegovac in UCLA and had used the draft version of this book. Professor Ercegovac is extremely knowledgable and well-known in his area and I was amazed at how quickly he was able to answer all our doubts. Now about the book. I have not read any other book on this subject except this one. So, keep that in mind while considering my review. ...

Brilliant book for Brilliant minds !
There are very few books in market that are as packed in content. I like the author's lucid style of emphasizing his points while still maintaining the rigor of the subject. Digital hardware engineers have used and will continue using this book for sound design practices and optimized designs.

This book introduces the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, along with counting and other basic skills. It can be used to guide your teaching for about two years - through grades 1 and 2.

The Foundations of Arithmetic: A Logico-Mathematical Enquiry into the Concept of Number5 reviews
Gottlob Frege
Northwestern University Press, 1980
The first escape from the Elencus...
You know how _frustrating_ it is, reading a platonic dialog? Some question like "What is virtue?" or "What is justice" is asked, and Socretes goes on for pages showing that the so-called "experts" don't have a clue about what it really is?
But what's _really_ frustrating is that you're all expecting, at the end of the dialog, after following a hard line of argument, that you'll be rewarded ...

Useless Arithmetic: Why Environmental Scientists Can't Predict the Future 15 reviews
Orrin H. Pilkey, Linda Pilkey-Jarvis
Columbia University Press, 2006
It's About Models
The first author is a retired professor of geology and a particular expert on beaches. He's a scientist's scientist, and clearly an opinionated and occasionally irascible guy. This book is a bit of a tirade in places but it's full of real examples, good data, and thought provoking stories. I enjoyed it a lot. The main theme is that the natural world is too complicated a place for quantitative ...
