"Encourages students to develop investigative, analysis, and
discussion abilities.…A resource that all mathematics teachers will
find at the top of their list." -Arithmetic Teacher
"My students look forward to doing this book. It prepares them to
succeed on the tests and at all kinds of problem solving." -Moritza,
Norwood, NJ
"I teach algebra and the graphing of linear equations to 3rd and 4th
graders.
Mathematical Reasoning reflects what is good in teaching and
learning and proves that what I am doing is appropriate and indeed
the most intelligent way to proceed." -Educator, via the
Internet
"Traditional curriculums teach basic math skills, but the child
often misses the underlying meaning of the skills. These books fill
that gap by teaching the basic concepts behind the skills."
-Harvest Home Educators Newsletter
"[Develops the] thinking skills necessary for abstract high
school-level math." -Christian Home Educators? Curriculum
Manual
"We use this book…several times a week. [My] children love to figure
out the problems. Many of the problems are similar to those found on
standardized and I.Q. tests."
-Ellen, Crossville, TN
"Traditional math curriculums teach basic math skills, which of
course are necessary, but the child often misses the underlying
meaning of the skill. These books fill that gap by teaching the
basic concepts behind the skills.…The activities are fun and not too
time-consuming, so students enjoy them while they are learning. The
Guides give answers and extensive discussions for the activities.…[T]hey
will be a great help." -Peggy, Bedford, GA
"What it all boils down to is a big book of 282 pages that you can
use to practice virtually every elementary math skill. Even topics
like symmetry, of which you see very little in typical math texts,
are covered." -Mary, Fenton, MO
"Lessons are challenging, combining visual spatial skills, logic,
math, and verbal skills. An underlying goal is preparation for the
thinking skills necessary for abstract high school-level math."
-Cathy Duffy, Christian Home Educators' Curriculum Manual
"...
Mathematical Reasoning is amazing. I finally found something
that works for my daughter. She's very advanced for a second grader
and tells me that most of the math books we'd tried so far are too
boring or too obvious. Now she actually wants to do math. What a
relief." -Lili, Sherman Oaks, CA
"[Mathematical
Reasoning includes] counting and sequencing, geometry,
arithmetic, measurement, comparing and ordering numbers, and tables
and graphs. In turn, these topics are broken down into subtopics,
such as Estimating Lengths or Sums Using Coins. You can thus open
the table of contents and zip to a series of problems using a
particular skill.
"What it all boils down to is a big book of 282 pages that you can

are covered." -Mary Pride, The Big Book of Home Learning
"My son has never liked math. When he started
Mathematical
Reasoning it was with the usual groaning--'Do I haveta do
this!' A few weeks later, as he was beginning to get the hang of it,
he started saying things like, 'This is O.K. I think I like this.'
Next came, 'Hey, this is fun!' But then came the words I never
thought I'd hear, 'Maybe this math stuff is not all bad.' What a
great program!" -Maria, West Covina, CA
"Practical and simple to apply. Teaches your child skills that will
be a tremendous help when they are learning algebra." -Merrilee
Defoe, Reviewer
"My 14 year old daughter has extreme learning challenges. A year and
a half ago she took an I.Q. test. The results came back that she was
"uneducable." I didn't accept that evaluation. I've now taken her
through the
Building Thinking Skills and
Mathematical
Reasoning books all the way up through Level 2. In the last year
her I.Q. went up 32 points, and now she's working at a low sixth
grade level. Of all the products I've used with her over the years,
I saw the most progress using your critical thinking materials."
