Excellent Math Base December 9, 2008
I bought this for my teen two years ago as he struggled with the math portion of the GED. He ended up scoring in the top 99% on that portion of the test; I am sure this book was at least 75% responsible for that.

We approached his work in this book on a daily basis: one top skill a day for 50 days. Now, two years later, I've purchased a copy for my other teen. She's a wiz at math, but I want her to keep her math skills in check as she works more on the areas she is weaker in for the GED.

(Incidentally, both my kids have opted out of high school, instead choosing to attend college at the ripe old age of 16. I've heard it's a trend in some school districts. With the number of calls I field from interested parents, it seems that it may become a trend here too.)

This is a great book for teachers, tutors and study groups. The book is obviously made up of fifty skills. Each skill is only a couple of pages long and offers practice with GED style questions. I like the book because the small bits of information make a quick review for students. A student can do one skill a day or a week and know exactly how much is left. I also like the book as an introduction to what students actually need. All too often students are overly concerned with fractions and not concerned enough about word problems and problem solving. The book keeps word problems and GED specific problem solving front and center in each skill.
