                                  WHAT'S INSIDE EACH VOLUME?

                                  The Learn Math Fast System is an innovative new way to learn and teach math!  This 4 Volume series explains math grades 1- 8 with a different approach.  Volume I teaches the student how to master addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division before advancing to fractions.  Students are given several lessons, worksheets, and timed test to insure they have mastered each subject.  Whether the student is a beginner or an older student struggling in math, everyone should start with Volume I.   

                                  We avoid putting a grade level on each book because giving a Seventh Grader a math book that's labeled 'First Grade' is damaging to their self esteem.  Instead, we have intelligent looking books that anyone would be proud to carry.  Besides, everyone should start with Volume I.  Even adults will learn how to add and subtract in their heads, like never before, after reading Volume I. 

                                  Volume II starts with fractions.  You could call this 4th grade math, but we call it the key to learning the relationship between fractions, percentages, and decimal numbers.  Having this insight is the difference between those who understand math and those who are lost.  If a young person starts with this system, he will excel in math quickly - because he GETS IT!  And if an older person, who has never understood math, reads this system, she too will finally get it.  It's not just fourth grade math, it's the insight to understanding basic math.

                                  Once the student masters the first two books, he will have all the tools necessary to start learning pre algebra.  Volume III begins by explaining: WHAT IS X?  You can't expect a student to try to solve for x when she doesn't even understand why, all the sudden, there are letters in our math.  We clear this up right from the beginning, making pre algebra as painless as it should be.

                                  Have you ever tried to learn slopes in 7th or 8th grade math?  Many people get lost or simply gloss over slopes because it is a weird concept.  But as it turns out, slopes are the turning point in math where it crosses over from basic math to higher math:  algebra, calculus, trig, etc.  So it is essential to learn slopes in order to excel in math.  The Learn Math Fast System explains slopes with 5 easy steps, taking the mystery out of them.

                                  We waited until the end to introduce geometry.  Many students get discouraged with math when you expect them to learn fractions, circumference, pi, and hypotenuse all in the same year.  We wait until they have a basic understanding of pre algebra, before asking them to use a formula to find the length of a hypotenuse.  Fourth grade is just too soon, in my book.  Volume IV, Learn Geometry Fast, comes with a math kit full of manipulatives to help students visualize geometric shapes and tricks.

                                  Of course, you don't have to buy all 4 books.  Each book can be purchased separately.  Every Volume is self contained; complete with worksheets, answers, and tests.   A teacher's guide is not needed; you just start reading.
                                   

                                  Even though I avoid labeling these books with a grade level, let me clarify each volume.  Volume I teaches math grades 1-3.  Volume II teaches 4th and 5th grade math.  Volume III starts with an intro to 6 - 8th grade pre algebra.  Volume IV is 3-7th grade geometry.


                                  Also, if you want to use these books over and over again, you can print off the worksheets from this website and write on those instead.  Leaving your books clean and ready for the next generation or for resale.

                                  This system is working for those who never thought they could learn math.  The language used can be read by most students, allowing them to teach themselves.  But of course, we always encourage mom to be involved by reading along and encouraging the student along the way.  We are so sure you and your student will learn from these books, we offer a money back guarantee.  Just have the student go through as many lessons as she can and complete each worksheet.  If after 60 days, you don't feel she is learning basic math, return the used books and we will refund your money.
