Zaccaro Rules!

Highly recommended by other reviewers and by one of the best professors in the field of teaching math, Susan Assouline:Developing Math Talent: A Guide for Educating Gifted And Advanced Learners in Math. Less time with dull textbooks, more with Zaccaro; the freedom that homeschool allows is great! Keeps my child excited about math and engaged in learning.

A Blessing Indeed!

This book has been an excellent guide for my 6th grader who needed to grasp problem-solving skills in the various math concepts introduced during the last academic year. It has been fun helpng my daughter work through the book and I thank the author and his family for coming up with such a book. It is worth every penny I paid for it.

Excellent, Comprehensive

I run a math club for a group of 5th graders (one 6th grader). When I found this book, I knew I had an excellent curriculum to offer them. We've been using this and Real World Algebra and the kids have responded well to both. They *like* the silly cartoons. The author has taken concepts that are generally saved for older kids (and can be dry and tedious) and made them accessible to a younger age group. This is the ideal solution if your bright or gifted child needs more challenge, but standard texts just don't cut it.

A Dream Come True

This book really delivers what it promises - it is the music of math - not just the scales. My eleven year old son and I have been working through the book and having a great time. He has a teacher this year who really doesn't know how to teach gifted kids math and this book has been a lifesaver. Some of the concepts are fairly simple but as you work through how to apply them with increasing difficulty to some real-world problems then it does get you thinking. I highly recommend this book for all students - it is really the way math should be taught.
