Math: Stop Faking It! Finally Understanding Science So You Can Teach It
NSTA Press
Grades K–8
Flummoxed by formulas? Queasy about equations? Perturbed by pi? This book focuses on the reasoning behind the rules, from math basics all the way up to a brief introduction to calculus. Like the other titles in the Stop Faking It series, Math provides clear explanations, irreverent illustrations, and easy-to-follow activities. But author Bill Robertson spares you problem sets to do or tests to take. That’s because Math is not so much a book that helps you do math as it is a guide to understanding it conceptually.
