Summary: Perfect for reviewing between 5th and 6th grade
Comment: I bought this for my son to help him review over the summer between 5th grade math (using the Everyday Math program) and 6th grade math (when he will be using a traditional math program.) With Everyday Math, my son covered all the concepts that are in "Mastering Essential Math Skills," but he learned to use different algorithms that I know from past experience the middle school teacher will not be familiar with. For example, my son can multiply three digit numbers, but he doesn't know how to line the numbers up to the right, muliply the ones first, etc. He can divide, but not the way this book teaches. I never did quite figure out how he learned to divide with decimals, and I think his grasp on that is very weak. So I needed a book that would cover all the main topics and show him how to do it the way he will be expected to do it in 6th grade math.

I admit that we just started with this workbook, but I am thrilled to see that it covers all the topics I wanted to review, and that it shows concisely and clearly the "traditional" way to solve the problems. My son worked through the first multiplication problem and said "OK now what do I do?" I asked him what he meant, and he said "How do I get from that to the answer?" I told him that IS the answer! He was amazed that it could be so simple.

My son is only 9 (he was a young 4th grader taking 5th grade math), so I don't know about this being middle school/high school material. But I previewed the table of contents before I bought it, and could tell that it would suit my needs perfectly. Thanks!

Summary: Great Item
Comment: I really loved this book when I first opened it. I am going to be a first year teacher and we are starting the year off with a review of fractions in my algebra 1 class. This book with help me a great deal because it has an entire section on fractions. Also it has other sections that are great for Geometry and etc. I am very happy that I bought this book.

Summary: Our girls no longer complained!
Comment: Last year in our homeschool, we switched to "Mastering Essential Math Skills: Middle Grade/High School, and it was the best switch we could have made. Both girls were to the point of dreading math, and after changing to this program, they now looked forward to math class and could make sense of it because of the step-by-step instructions. Great for 7th-8th grades. Our 2nd daughter actually moved from 5th grade to 7th grade because this program was available.

Summary: For a Quick Practice - Reviews But Does not "Teach"
Comment: a very, very, very brief review of how to do the problem is presented on each page and provides enough problems to do in 20 minutes.

Look at it in a library before spending money.

Unlike many other books of this type you are not given the right to copy the material for repeated use by a class or a family. Therefore if one student writes in the book it is all done.

As a volunteer in an alternative school and a home school parent I consider this a poor use of money.
