I have been reading your math book and I think it is great. It covers all of the basics that parents need to know to help their children with math homework. What a great help to teachers. This could end some of those late night calls to our home from frustrated parents. Or those notes the next day saying the homework isn't done, not because the dog ate the homework, but the parents just didn't have the math background to help.
