Summary: Review of Mary Kay' s Essential Mathematics
Review: I was a student of Mary Kay Beavers in 1998. I found that this book not only taught me how become more familiar with my number sence, but it showed me types of ways to approach mathematics. I found that when I first used this book my anxiety level towards math was quite high when approaching math problems. When I finished the book, my anxiety practically dissapered. Essential mathematics is self explanitory and fun to work with. I actually enjoyed doing my math homework for Mary Kay (sometimes). I definitily advise anyone who is looking for a great way to learn arithmetic,munber sence,fractions and algebra to GET THIS BOOK!! I also reccomend her game called EQUATE. This game ranges from all different math levels-including children. It actually makes math a lot of fun. Any Scrabble lovers out there? EQATE is very similar, although it is w/ numbers.

Summary: Easy to understand - a breeze!
Review: Information is presented very clearly, and it's simple to follow. Finally - a math book for the non-math majors to "get"!
