 Hole-Free Math Skills June 16, 2009

In his customary succinct and painless way, Richard Fisher has written a series of skill specific math workbooks. Like an efficient patch kit, each book seals any holes that might exist in your student's math skills. I had the opportunity to look over these six, streamlined, no-fluff workbooks (just the way I like them). Fractions, Geometry, Percents and Decimals, Problem Solving, Whole Numbers and Integers, and Pre-algebra Concepts are individually and precisely targeted. Each subject is given a thorough yet simple treatment (a rare combination). First, by laying a firm foundation with the basics, building precept upon precept, and finally topping off the skills we have gained with final reviews to ensure hole-free mastery. With my limited understanding of math, I was able to easily comprehend the short lessons in the Helpful Hints section with examples. I could have used a little more explanation for the more complex concepts to nudge my brain to its grasping point; still, I was able to ascertain a concept by looking at the answer and figuring out how it was arrived at (I call it creative learning). I used Pre-Algebra Concepts with companion DVD for a review of Pre-Algebra and would unquestionably have used it as my son's primary text had I discovered this series sooner (the other books in this series do not come with a companion DVD). I recommend these books and will be using them for reinforcing any weak areas that crop up in my son's math comprehension.

I reviewed all six of the new Mastering Essentials Math Skills titles at the 2008 NCTM Math conference. As a math consultant, I have always been a big fan of Fisher's book. It is amazing how much geometry is covered in just 80 pages. Each lesson is short and self-contained. All of Fisher's books have built-in review, a helpful hints section for each new topic, and lots of real-life applications. An excellent book that will provide students with mastery of the essential geometry skills. Also, lots of real-life applications. Highly recommended.
