Amazing book that gives you a starting point for tricky students…the ones who have some rote memorization, but lack conceptual understanding of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Easy, free assessment program give you data and understanding of students deep understanding of basic facts.

Super quick read, this is more of a reference book than one I would read cover to cover. The framework is logical, easy to understand, and fully supported by research.

Informative and helpful read, but very repetitive. It got the point across and will be using the resources with my students.
