Basic

This is good if you don't have experience, but is covered in most curricula. Fine for a refresher as well

Good brief and full of ideas

Good, brief, and full of ideas for struggling math student or adult who needs a bit of help with word problems.

Very generic approaches.

I would have expected some more in-depth analysis and strategies, but this book focuses on very pedantic and standard approaches.
