Many kids grow up in fear of or hating math for several reasons. Everyone learns differently and teachers never really took the time to explain problems in context as this book does. It seems to go about it as an ABCs of math just as in order to read well, you have to have a solid base foundation of grammar, sentence structure, etc before you can really enjoy what you're reading.The book is very straightforward particularly in geometry and algebra, which is the main math focus on SSATs. I wish I had this book when I was younger and maybe I would have enjoyed all math instead of despising it (except in science and music- that I somehow got and enjoyed immensely). I'm going to make a note of this book to use when my kids need it.Highly recommended.
