I used this book to teach middle school, as a way to make sure students have the true basics to get through life! Teachers quit insuring students memorize the “FACTS”. You can count on your fingers & toes for the ones that elude you but….If you know most of these basics, in your memory, the rest are “fingertips” -possible! (You know 8+8 is16, so you can quickly add 1 to recall 9+8=17! If you know 12x12 =144 you can use your fingertips that 13x12 is one more 12 to add to 144 to solve this.) You may “cheat”, a little, if you have memorized the most facts! Next, you use money to change to fractions to percentages which will make algebra a breeze! They can then be told the steps in shopping. If you are at a sale of 25% off, you learn you don’t need to take a quarter of the price then subtract. You know you are going to pay 75% or 3/4 the or multiple by .75 to know the real price! Most sales are easier! Sorry, there are so many easy tricks and tips so students don’t hate math! Life can be easier with the BASICS at your disposal. You can guesstimate prices before you “overpaid” I am so interested in helping people have the tools like...

So I'm a recent english learner and I'm new to maths as well. I have spend past week mastering the x table and have always been pretty good at addition. Although I seem to be missing some functional skills and am going to be sitting my GCSE soon. My question is, how on earth dose 623+445 become 5073? Is there something I'm missing here? I'm still now researching the concept of adding a 0 at the end of things is that why my calculator and brain keep telling me the answer to be 1068? Or is this book faulty? Iv really been enjoying the guidance and all but cant move past this, I'm missing something here please help guys an gals.

Pretty much as advertised this book does cover almost all the most important math you need for everyday use. A one star hit for what I think is the only thing missing TVM: PMT, present and future value calculations are essential knowledge to understand everything from mortgage and car payments to retirement and financial planning skills. Even if the author took a high level approach and pointed the reader to online resources I’d be happy. Other than that this is a wonderful book.

Can't say enough. A math teacher friend accolades this book too. It is ACTUALLY even a bit more than all the math an average person will ever need. Great for homeschooling and remedial.

I took a civil service test at my job and failed on the first try. Before taking the test again the second time, i purchased this book, studied each chapter & took each test over and over. The results is I scored a high mark & passed the Civil exam with this book. It is an excellent source if you are returning to math after being out of school. It takes you back to basics to bring fast results solving problems and prepares you within a reasonable amount of time. You won't need to memorize a bunch of formulas or use a calculator. Each chapter explains in detail to help you understand. There are numerous self and review tests at the end of the book. The teaching material is not complicated. Simple and straight to the point to help you understand everyday math. If you lost your touch with math this book will revive you with numbers to help you master them with no fear. Buy this book if you need help with understanding math. It won't disappointt!!

This book is basically a short refresher course on highschool mathematics. Just like the title says, it's all you'll ever need in your daily life- and then some. I managed to work my way through it in just over two months, picking my way through it day by day. When I was finished, I was surprised and pleased with how much I learned. A well put together book.
Six months later, though, I am slowly forgetting. Will need to go back and work through it again some time this year. Like exercise, you have to keep at it. Make a scheduel, I used a big piece of card paper as a bookmark and kept track of the date and pages I worked through that day on it. Don't write in the actual book. It was also useful to cover the answer section, which is a bit too easy to see.
Now on the economics book in this series by the same author, the math book was a good warm-up for that.
