Sneaky Math: A Graphic Primer with Projects: Ace the Basics of Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus with Everyday Things (Volume 9) (Sneaky Books)

We loved Cy Tymony's new book, "Sneaky Math"! It was wonderful. My daughter hated math and didn't do well in school until I brought home this great book. Suddenly, the subject was fun and the material was easy to remember. It has everything. It's a great package that covers a broad list of subjects in a fun, graphical format with plenty of projects that we can both do together. And just like that, my daughter is acing math and feeling great about her accomplishment --- all for the incredibly low price of this book. It's the deal of the century.

concerned about approving this product and having an effect on a reservoir of customer preferences. I think the book is maybe a good supplement to a teacher when reinforcing concepts. I'm concerned about the fluff overwriting the fundamentals in many aspects of my life. If I were more in touch with the workings of my children's education, I may not have this amount of concern.

This has been a great book. I originally bought it because I was curious to see if I could learn new tricks myself. while it has been helpful in thinking of new ways to look at math, and put it in a practical/ real life situation to understand the different mathematical operation. My kids are still pretty young, but this is going be an awesome for helping them understand. It easy to understand full of projects. It makes this book fun and entertaining!

Amazing book and really great service. So happy with the easy way it explains things and how interactive the different chapters are. A very engaging book

Good ideas

My 8 year old son's favorite book, He loves finding new math tricks!

Great

Oh boy, remember those days of sweating it out in math class and the frustrations of sitting at the kitchen table and trying to figure out your math homework so you wouldn't get in trouble the next day at school? Can you recall the frustrations and anxieties? The zombie-like parents that tried to help you out of your math quandary? And yes, they really did try to help you. The expensive and often ineffective tutors that came and went? And the incessant staying-after-school-to-get-extra-help-days because math made little sense to you and you wanted to show both your teacher and your parents that you were at least trying? Oh and who can forget those boring drills and piled-on problem-solving questions that only added to your stress right? "You can't do this math?....ha ha ha...let's give you more to do.... that will fix your problem...good luck with it."Well Cy Tymony's creative brain has designed a book that might just turn all that math-chaos-in-your-brain totally around. The primer is practical, full of fun activities, and begs you to get involved. The hands-on approach will win you over and even help you remember how math works while truly enjoying the experience! It is a modern day math miracle that your kid's need to discover.These easy to make projects help you understand math concepts with ease and with understanding. You can file them away and call them forth for future use when needed.Remember these concepts from school? I bet you don't... not all of them anyway:*Division and multiplication with mixed fractions*Square roots and exponents*Algebra variables and functions*Practical formulas used in every day life*Geometry and trigonometry techniques*What calculus is and how it is used*Unusual math symbols and their usage*Getting started with scientific calculators*Using spreadsheets for math operations*Creating Sneaky Math designs and challengesOK I'll admit it...even reading the above list gives me hives and a pain in my tummy. But one thing I do know, this book will ease that pain considerably. As I re-visit these math concepts and implement the knowledge in this book, I will see them in a brand new light and in a fun manner. Think how your kids will feel when the lightbulb turns on and they actually "get it." Whether you are a "newbie" at this math stuff or need a re-fresher's course this book is for you. I am positive you will love what Cy has to offer you. Problem solved!

Its a good book, which presents a range of maths subjects in an innovative, fun way.Some of the worked examples given have errors in them, which is not really acceptable in any mathematics book; hence it lost a few stars.

I got this to help me help my kids. I needed to understand and have some background at this level to be able to explain the mathematics in more than one way. I enjoyed learning from this absolutely worth the price. Taught me ways of doing mathematics I hadn't known.

Worth buying
