1) Mike Leppert, HomeschoolMagazine.com excerpt.
If you are homeschooling, this book is an essential part of your Math Library. If your child is in a classroom setting, this book is a must-have for you to improve his/her knowledge of math and confidence in doing math work. Many children doing poorly in math have suddenly found they can do very well, simply because they KNOW their answer is correct – even before the teacher checks it. Mr. Watt says, “There is no excuse for ANY child to not get ‘As’ in math.”
FROM AMAZON - 5 STAR REVIEW May 2010
We had heard about this book from our cousins and were eager to purchase it. This book shows easy ways to always get the right answers for any addition, subtraction, multiplication or division problem. This problem solving technique is especially valuable to know when you're working with large numbers. The books is entertaining with illustrations by the author. Each section has a parent section and a children's section. You will definitely want to get your scratch paper out and go through the problems. The book includes lots of workbook pages to get accustomed to the technique. I wish math teachers would read this book. But since they probably won't teach this, parents and kids should read it and get a great insight into math. The Check Digit technique is easy to do -- it involves basic addition and in some cases simple multiplication.
