Publisher's Description of Basic Math Skills Rescue Part 2
Intel Innovations in Teaching Award-winning math teacher Richard W. Fisher has created an amazing algebra-readiness program to completely turn this around. With 31 years of experience in the classroom, he knows what it takes to ensure student success in math.
The exciting news is that this new math program, Basic Math Skills Rescue, Parts One & Two, is now available to all students.
There are three clusters of essential math skills that all students need to learn and master. These are the foundational skills that will gradually lead children to algebra. Students need to have a strong understanding of these topics. These skills are aptly called the Critical Foundations of Algebra.
Basic Math Skills Rescue, the critical foundations of Algebra, is based on a system of teaching that was developed by a math instructor over a thirty-year period. There are two books in this series – Part 1 and Part 2. Part 1 covers whole numbers, integers, fractions, decimals, and percents. Part 2 covers geometry, problem solving, and pre-algebra. The easy-to-follow program requires only fifteen or twenty minutes of instruction per day. The daily exercises help students to not only master math skills, but also maintain and reinforce those skills through consistent review. Includes a convenient math resource center and free access to an online video library at www.mathessential.net Solutions are found in the back of the consumable book. 240 pgs, pb. ~Amber
