Hardback. Condition: Good. Do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics; I can assure you that mine are still greater. Albert Einstein. Everyone has heard students most common complaint in math class: Why do I need to learn this? I ll never use it when I m older Some of us have even been that complainer. Many people s difficulties with learning math in school follow them into adulthood, by which time they often assume that it s too late to do anything about it. But even though it s true that the average person has no need in daily life to remember what the number for Pi is and what it represents, that doesn t mean that math serves no purpose for anybody with access to a calculator. In Your Daily Math, veteran math educator Laura Laing lays out a year s worth of exercises meant to get you thinking about math in a different way. Laing s approach breaks down her 366 exercises into seven categories, one for each day of the week: Number Sense, Algebra, Geometry, Application, Probability & Statistics, Logic, and Grab Bag. Laing s approach treats these math and various number-related logic problems as fun brain exercises. Yes, there are equations here, but nothing that the average adult even those who always hated math class can t handle.

Think of Your Daily Math not as homework but instead as your daily cognitive workout.…
