Math Power: How to Help Your Child Love Math, Even If You Don't by Patricia Kenschaft



This is my most highly recommended book about mathematics education. It is out of print, but well worth tracking down. Patricia Kenschaft is a university professor and a mother of two grown daughters, one of whom was homeschooled for a short time. This book is directed to parents and is extremely empowering because it is filled with practical advice and logical explanations. There are chapters about math education as well as chapters specifically about how to help your child learn. Read about "How Drill and Kill Cripples U.S. Math Education" and "What Every Parent Should Know About Testing and Grading." This book will raise your confidence in your ability to help your child learn math in natural and meaningful ways.
