The Amazing 7-Day, Super-Simple, Scripted Guide to Teaching or Learning Decimals

Welcome to The Amazing 7-Day, Super-Simple, Scripted Guide to Teaching or Learning Decimals. I have attempted to do just what the title says: make learning decimals super simple. I have also attempted to make it fun and even ear-catching. The reason for this is not that I am a frustrated stand-up comic, but because in my fourteen years of teaching the subject, I have come to realize that my jokes, even the bad ones, have a crazy way of sticking in my students' heads. And should I use a joke (even a bad one) repetitively, the associations become embedded in their brains, many times to their chagrin!

What is so different about this book? First of all, it is scripted, so that tutors, parents and teachers alike can deliver the lessons easily and without frustration. Secondly, the scripts and lessons have been carefully crafted to be ageless -- that is, to apply to any learner, based on age or level of mathematical mastery. Finally, the lessons have been carefully culled and edited over a decade in order to include the most necessary information in a finite and reasonable timetable, something (in this educator's opinion) other books seem to lack.
