Too Technical For Our Purposes but... - An Englishman Abroad - Florida, U.S.A
Our 6 year old was doing great in most areas at school, but found math more difficult. Rather than simply bombard her with more of the same approach, we bought this book (which was recommended in another book we read on the subject) to help us identify a different way of teaching math.

Unfortunately, this book is written for professional teachers and educators which we are not. We are pretty sure it is excellent for that purpose, but we found it heavy going and short on practical ways to help our child.

This is not a criticism of the book; more an ackowledgement that we simply bought the wrong title for our needs.

On that basis alone we gave it three stars. To a professional it may very well be worth more.
