Rezensionen

"Real World Math does a great job at answering 'When will I ever use this?'' For students who find math intimidating, she makes the subject approachable and enjoyable."

- Mollie Grinnell, homeschooling mother

"It was interesting to see how different jobs use math. I liked how in Real World Math all the problems are around actual people using math, not just worksheets of math problems."

- Lyssa Grinnell, homeschooler
