Product Description
Books in Barron's Easy Way Series make fine textbook supplements in a wide array of subjects, and are also ideal for independent study by high school and college students who want to boost their grades. This brand-new Easy Way title starts with exercises in basic algebra and progresses to the point where students will be able to solve word problems through calculus. Problems are clearly and concisely dissected and analyzed. Each word problem breaks down into four successive parts: statement of the problem; its analysis; a work area; and the answer. Chapter One deals with mathematical formulas and their uses. Following chapters focus on mixture and coin problems; perimeters and circumferences; determining areas of geometrically defined spaces; finding volumes of solid forms such as cubes, cones, and spheres; solving integer and numbers problems; solving statistical problems; using first degree equations;solving ratio, proportion, and variation problems; understanding quadratic equations; tackling problems solved by trigonometry, and problems solved by functions of calculus. Amusing line art adds a user-friendly touch to this book. An appendix presents solutions to all exercises and tests plus trigonometric tables. ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars This is not a good book!
I have a phobia of math so I am trying to teach myself word problems. I purchased several books to learn word problems and this was the worst one. It is clearly not written for a beginner.The examples are terrible, they are far too complicated for someone trying to learn a difficult subject. The examples at the beginning sections should start off with more simple, step by step problems that are not so complicated. This book should assume the reader has basic math knowledge and not a masters degree in math!This book was terrible and I would not recommend it.

5-0 out of 5 stars I finally got it!!
After 6 different Algebra classes, 1 geometry math class (and too scared to go beyond any of these due to my extreme difficulty with word problems), all my study guides for the ACT and GRE, I now wish I had only spent money on this. It made me want to retake all the tests I had taken in the past! :) It would have raised my scores more than any other study guide I used. I finally understand how to break word problems down. I thought I was just not very smart in math, but it turns out, no one just ever explained it the way I needed to understand. I feel a lot more confident, although if I take another math class anytime soon, I may need this book again as a refresher. :)

5-0 out of 5 stars Calculus review
Loved this book.The examples were clear and easy to understand.I liked especially the chapters on differentiation and integration.I strongly recommend this book.

1-0 out of 5 stars The worst math book
This book is supposed to be for beginners. Not so. There is a serious lack of explanation of the mathematical formulas needed to solve basic algebra problems. This book assumes the reader already has a grasp on basic mathematical principles. No good for someone who really needs a basic math primer. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Some questions are not good at all
I bought this book for my eight-year-old and she likes it very much.On our first look through the book, however, I found a question that was wildly incorrect, and a look through the answer key located another that's questionable at best.

Exhibit A:Question 43 seeks the number of decibels in the loudest whale pulse, which turns out to be 188 dB.The "hint" says the whale pulse is "2 times as loud" as a 94 dB stadium crowd, intending the child to multiply by two.But decibels are a logarithmic scale, meaning that the hint would lead someone with knowledge of decibels to an answer of 97 dB.This is not a subtle error -- it is a huge error.188 decibels has 2.5 BILLION TIMES the strength of a 94 decibel sound, not "2 times" the strength.

Exhibit B:Question 215 wonders how hot the surface of Venus is, and asks students to add temperatures to get there.You don't and can't add temperatures (78 in San Diego, 62 in Wichita, 40 in Cleveland).It's not valid.Not that any student would, but if you converted to Celsius, added your answers, and converted back to Fahrenheit, you would get a completely different answer, because temperature isn't additive.For the record, neither can you multiply temperatures (except perhaps in Kelvin):what would it even mean to say a 64 degree day is "twice as warm" as a 32 degree day?

I know that I'm nitpicking.The interesting answers, which seem to all be correct, get students to do math.But much more care should have been put into the hints.If you understand science, these things will irk you; if not, hakuna matata, I suppose.

This book is really helpful especially if you are building a personal resource library.

5-0 out of 5 stars They are fantastic word problems!
I am not a math teacher, but our district has "Math Day" once a year.All teachers teach a math unit on that day.I was able to use this book to make my activity "Math Around the World" because it had fantastic facts about things on many continents.The students were fascinated, and enjoyed finding out how thick the ice was at Antarctica, how long the Statue of Liberty's nose was, etc.High interest, good variety, and provides good daily math problems.

5-0 out of 5 stars highly recommend
Using this book is one of the very best ways I have found to review and teach math facts. Any level of math can be reviewed in the same time frame. Excellent for facts application, recall accuracy, and problem solving speed. You only need to give 2-3 problems a day. Consistence is the key, a little everyday. I also like Beestar (an excellent web site with free weekly math practice at www.beestar.org). They both let kids use and enforce their math skills daily while having fun. Highly recommend.

5-0 out of 5 stars My kids loved this book
I got this book and I've never seen my children so interested in solving math problems. The reward of finding out some trivia at the end of the problem seemed to work wonders.

Now that they are done with it I make up problems for them to solve based on facts I find.

Bring on Volume 2! ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Logic Games for Little Minds!!
This book is great for my first grade class. These easy to follow worksheets encourage my students to think on a higher level than a regular math assignment would challenge them on.

5-0 out of 5 stars An outstanding and creative approach
Together with CTP's Standards-Based Math for Grades 1-2, these are easily the best Math workbooks I found for my second grader.

The creative approach used to introduce and emphasize key concepts keeps my son interested in doing the exercises.He actually had fun with many of them.

Each exercise is long enough to get the point accross, without being so long that it feels like "more school."

Great job Ms. Shiotsu!

Product Description
This innovative text teaches elementary school students the techniques of critical thinking and problem solving and applies those methods to mathematical word problems. It supplements traditional fourth, fifth, and sixth grade textbooks and increases students' thinking and problem solving abilities.

Students are taught the fundamentals of these processes by applying them both to simple and multi-step problems which are provided. These problems -- many written by elementary school pupils --gradually increase in difficulty, making learning both fun and stimulating. Special attention is given to typical errors and sources of conceptual difficulty.
