Reviews

We finally have a book that dispels the myths, confusions and accusations surrounding the math being taught to our children in schools across the nation. This book is a must read for all educators, parents and students.
The style of writing Linda Fusco uses won't be an intimidating read for parents. Navigating MathLand is a wonderful resource for parents, teachers, principals, and instructional coaches. Fusco brings to light excellent points about the process of learning math and will have educators reflecting on how they teach math. -- Vanessa Williams, elementary teacher, Arlington, Texas
