Math Smarts: Tips, Tricks, and Secrets for Making Math More Fun! [With Flash Cards]

Math Smarts: Tips, Tricks, and Secrets for Making Math More Fun! by Lynette Long, illus. by Tracy McGuinness, does just that, with clever aids such as a cardboard ""Smart Chart"" that slides to reveal multiplication and division tables. Paper punches allow girls to tuck it into binders, and the text helps dispel negative attitudes toward math and dispense reasons why it's a worthwhile subject (""Figure out the price of that cool shirt on the 25-percent-off rack""). Practical strategies for successful note-making and test-taking round out the volume.
