Book Review - Two Plus Two is Not Five. A good friend of mine, Kimberly Duell helped me this month by reviewing the following math curriculum. If your children are struggling in math, you might want to check it out.
Two Plus Two Is Not Five, by Susan Greenwald, has been instrumental in helping my children visualize math concepts. It turns a bunch of numbers on paper into something real and tangible for my children to work with. As I was teaching them some of the math tricks in this book, I realized Susan (the author) had found a simple way to explain exactly how I actually see math problems in my mind. I never could have explained it this well. This curriculum is easy enough for my 5-year-old - he loves it and asks for more - and yet is still interesting enough to help my 9-year-old fill in some gaps in her math knowledge without being bored. I highly recommend this curriculum. For more information, see the website: http://www.longevitypublishing.com/.
