    Okay, I had to go pull them out.

    Book 1 says for grades 3-4, 2 for 5-7.

    1 covers: beg fractions, then adding/subtracting with like denominators, learning mixed, then adding/subtracting mixed, converting improper to proper then starting conversion to decimals.

    2 covers: review of 1, then multiplying/dividing fractions, adding/subtracting mixed numbers, multiplying/dividing mixed numbers more converting fractions to decimals, fractions of the whole problems.

    Brief instruction, limited repetion, use if for new instruction for a mathy kid that learns independently or supplement to sharpen skills this summer for a kid who has BTDT, but not too too far past that stuff. IMHO, or course! smile

    Neato, you cost me $40. bucks! But truthfully, I found a book that I've been looking for for a long time.

    "Philosophy for Teens" is a book that I'd heard about ages ago and couldn't remember for the life of me the name. I found it!! YAY!!

    just wondering, are these books already aged based on gifted kids, or would you still go a few years up?

    BWB- Sorry! Glad you found some good stuff!

    Basset: Prufrock is mainly gifted resources. However, I do usually still go up a grade or two. Better to err on the side of more challenging as you can let it sit on the shelf until later. They are so inexpensive, though. I've donated stuff that didn't work now and again, at $.99 I felt okay about that!
