FAQ: HOW IS AN EBOOK DIFFERENT FROM A PRINTABLE ACTIVITY GUIDE?
FAQ: HOW IS AN EBOOK DIFFERENT FROM A PRINTABLE ACTIVITY GUIDE?
The ebooks are written to be read. They include more inspiration, background information, and teaching tips, but do NOT include printable student pages.
You can think of the ebooks as a "teacher's manual" for their related printable activities.
The printable activity guides include brief teacher instructions, but the focus is on the student handout pages, making the activities easy to use in a classroom or homeschool. Many of the printable guides also include math journaling prompts and decorated pages for student writing.
Ebooks come in two formats: DRM-free EPUB file (for reading on your phone or ebook reader) and a PDF (for reading on a tablet). The activity guides come in printable PDF format only.
Either type can stand alone, though we believe they work better together. If you're on a tight budget, the ebook is often the better deal.

I love this book. I would recommend it to anyone to use with their student right before Prealgebra. It sets up great algebraic thinking without getting bogged down in equations right away. I love word problems to teach math. I was an engineer for 10 years, and I think word problems prepare a student for real work better than dry equations. Any engineering problem can be stated as a word problem. In reading the word problem, the student has to interpret what it means and then solve the problem, which is much more like how math would be used by engineers.
My son is in 7th grade and currently taking both Algebra I and Geometry (a combined class) and Trigonometry. He is taking Trigonometry because he ASKED to, and we again found a program that has a lot of word problems, which again I find to be much more in alignment with how the math is used in the real world. He has an incredible sense of how numbers work, tearing through advanced problems, and while some of it is his natural talent and drive, I strongly credit the work of Denise Gaskins for helping him unleash his talent. Her math games and word problems have been part of our home school for 5+ years now.
