I love this math curriculum! It is clear, concise, and to the point and has lots of practice drills. This is a spiral-bound paperback book with 274 pages. It can be used for middle school, high school, or a general math course in junior college. It is the unvarnished basics. I was so excited when I saw this book that I decided to incorporate it with the math program I am already using to add more drills, word problems and just a fresh perspective.

Although I am using this curriculum as a supplement to another program, it can certainly stand alone. I would recommend it to parents who want a good solid math program for their middle school/high school student. This is basically a workbook, and it contains lots of illustrations and very clear explanations. Mr. Block is a math teacher who has refined this process through his years of teaching math. He has made this course interesting, and that is worth its weight in gold. I have seen other curriculums that also have a lot of practice exercises, but I have never been interested in using them because they were boring. This text looks like fun. There are even some dot-to-dot pictures with a twist--you have to solve a lot of equations to know which dots to connect. This is a very thorough course, and although I do not have any pricing information to share with you, I feel confident that it will be well worth the purchase price.
