Mastering Essential Math Skills Book Two Middle Grades/High School New expanded edition Richard Fisher
I don't want to use the word outdated to explain what this book is like. I'd rather use the word old fashioned because it's the same math we had when we were kids, and I think my math skills turned out okay. I am a math teacher after all. I've used this as our main text book in the classroom for the first time this year. Our students loved this book because they felt it was easier to understand than the common core book we were using. Case in point, they were able to do their homework on their own with this book, as opposed to needing extra help when we did the common core stuff.In some cases tho, I'll admit that this book was below grade level. The explanations and examples are a lot gentler than the ones I've seen in those common core books. When you're first learning a concept, you shouldn't start out with incredibly hard examples, and teach them ten different ways to solve a problem because that confuses students and causes them to hate math. Like in this book, examples should start out gently until you've mastered the concepts. What I would like to see though are more practice problems. The extra problems also should be a little more "meaty" than the ones that are found in the book. This can be done very easily on the Mastering Essentials website (hint hint Mr. Fisher).
I believe you will find that this book is pretty good, but only if you want to take the express train to algebra. Like an express train bypasses many stations and gets you to the same destination much faster, this is an essentials book. It does not cover many of the obscure topics and tricky word problems that are found on the common core state exams. The bulk of which are not needed in order to learn higher math. For that reason, if your intent is to get your child ready for the common core exam, you will need to supplement this book with a common core aligned math book. On the other hand, if your intent is for your child to actually learn the fundamentals and like math, and not just study to the test, then you should buy this book. Finally, I like the fact that this book has videos that go along with each lesson. And I also love the price!
Oh, and one last thing. Although this book says middle and high school, IMHO this book is more for 6th and 7th graders. Once they finish this one, they should be ready for the No Nonsense Algebra book. The only way I'd recommend this be used in high school is as a remedial review for those students who took common core math and didn't learn the basics.

Mastering Essential Math Skills Book Two Middle Grades/High School New expanded edition Richard Fisher Reviews
This book is a bit odd in that there are not instructions on how to complete some of the activities. It has been more frustrating than helpful in my opinion. As a former middle school math teacher, I was looking forward to the book for our son who struggles a bit with math, but have found myself a bit disappointed with it overall. Not something I would purchase again.
I was using a different book with my grandson, who is in 8th grade. The purpose for us was not reviewing, but mastering and catching up to his grade level. It became obvious he was stuck and frustraded, the other book kept switching around between division, fractions, decimals, etc from page to page. So, I ordered this book that works on a set of math skills in a group. Mastering each set of skills until one is confident with that, then moving on to the next. This is exactly what he needed!
I wrote to the author to get his opinion on what books I should purchase to get ready for a math placement test. He wrote back very promptly with advice and words of encouragement. I'll probably purchase a few more of his books when I finish this one!
My son has ADHD as well as a pretty serious math anxiety that he developed thanks to his teacher in the public school he attended berating and belittling him in front of the class when he couldn't keep up. I have since started homeschooling him using this book and he is doing very well.
Ignore all of the reviews that say you need to look up concepts, or there are no instructions!! Free, online videos are included for every lesson, you just need to understand how to use the book correctly! Make sure to read the first several pages of the workbook BEFORE you try to actually use it or teach it.
We homeschool and this is the best math book we have used. There are daily drills, followed by daily review and, finally, a few problems covering new material. The format is simple and follows a very clear progression. The videos cover each new concept and the author has you follow along and write down concepts and problems. Mr. Fisher speaks and instructs in an easy to understand, slow-paced way. You can pause and go back if you don't understand. This book is not only appropriate for the middle grades, but also for anyone who needs to brush up on their basic skills (adults included). There are no cutesy or child-like illustrations in the book and the videos are taught as if he is speaking to an adult, not condescending at all. Perfect for my 7th grader! I wish I had found this series earlier. We will definitely be purchasing his math books for the next several years!
