Produktbeschreibung

Winning the Math Homework Challenge shares students' reasoning, thinking, and even misunderstandings about mathematics to provide you with the opportunity to see math through their eyes, including both the clarity and the confusion. Armed with this new sight, and therefore insight, parents will be able to effectively communicate with their child about math experiences. This book focuses more on the "why" behind math relationships, explained in plain English and through images that show mathematical relationships.
