About the Book

Ready. Set. Go! How do you know you're the fastest runner at your school? How do you set a record for the backstroke at your local swimming pool? Winning any type of race depends on timing. Accurately measuring time can be the difference between winning the gold and going home empty handed.

Review :
Real World Math describes this series perfectly because, rather than making your child just do workbook page after workbook page, they actually show your child how to apply math knowledge to every day life. Fantastic home schooling principle alert: Learning things in real life helps it stick in your child's head much better than just reading it in a textbook! In Estimating with the Newspaper (by Dawn McMillan) the child learns about all the sections of the newspaper while seeing how it applies to real world math. The book has articles that are interesting for kids followed by a quick assignment such as comparing charts for newspaper sales, figuring out currency exchange, and rounding up for average temperatures.... Using Decimals to Plan Our Vacation (written by Andrew Einspruch) follows a family going to the beach for vacation. It's 8 weeks away so they have time to plan and save. They figure out a budget based on projected expenses and then figure out how much they need to save each week. Uh-oh! Their refrigerator just broke, so now they're going to have to cut costs in some way to cover the cost of repair but still have money for vacation. The family decides to not purchase new beach towels or beach toys and to cut back the amount they spend on entertainment. I really like how the kids pitch in and do extra jobs - like babysitting - as well as willingly cutting out some wants to save enough money for the trip. It's a great concept - the whole family works together to accomplish the goal. Measuring Time at a Race (by Dianne Irving) will interest your kids who are sports lovers! It explains the whole concept of timing, world records, and how sports have changed with technology. It's interspersed with problems to solve and like the other books in this series, it presents it in such a way that it makes the child curious to figure it out - not in a way that seems like you're doing homework. The Real World Math series has a variety of authors, but all are published by Capstone Press. They are for grades 2-4 but I caught my older kids reading through them too and figuring out the problems. Other books in this series are Finding 3-D Shapes in New York City, Measuring at the Fire Station, Understanding Animal Graphs and more. It's a fun way for your child to learn more - check out Capstone Press or find these books at your library! http: //toliverstotexas.blogspot.com/2010/05/thursday-childrens-book-review-real.html-- "Tolivers to Texas Blog"
