Alexander Z. Warren has taught mathematics at the prestigious Phillips Academy for thirty years. He has channeled all of the lessons he's learned as an elementary-school math teacher into innovative and intuitive math-learning material.

You Can Count On It can be used for students in any grade. The first part of the book presents simple mathematics for children in first and second grades. Learning these math foundations, like the four fundamental operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division), will give kids a solid base to support more advanced skills.

The book then applies these four fundamental operations to more advanced equations. Instead of just natural numbers, third- and fourth-graders can begin to learn how to use the operations on signed numbers and fractions.

In addition to providing information for children in first through fourth grades, teachers and tutors for children in higher grades may find this book beneficial as a study guide for their students.

Often, students miss one simple lesson early in their learning, and that gap in understanding may come back to haunt them as they begin to tackle more advanced concepts. Use this book to make sure nothing has been left out.
