MATH! A Four Letter Word is a self-help book for people who hate, fear, or avoid math. Math anxiety is contagious and is passed from generation to generation - from parent to child, friend to friend, media to TV and movie audiences, and even from teacher to student. A significant number of people struggle with math because they let these learned negative feelings interfere with their ability to understand math. Math! A Four Letter Word addresses the sources of negative feelings and psychologically prepares students to learn and succeed. It encourages risk-taking and taking responsibility for learning. It's straightforward style and user-friendly, non-academic look will entice even the most math resistant people to take a peek. The result: they will reexamine the reasons for their feelings and perhaps for the first time in their lives give understanding math a fair try. The feedback from this approach has been overwhelmingly positive, and we bet it works for ! you. The book includes chapters for teachers and parents. - from Amzon
