Review: Works - Great work book to help my daughter see how math is in the outdoors she loves. Now that we have been working on it, she doesn't hate math so much. Great for homeschool! Review: Hopeful - Bought for my grandson for Xmas. It contains activities he can do outside and explains the power of math to a kid who has not shown real interest yet. Hopefully this book will help to inspire.
