Story Behind The Book

NOTE: Read the entire book for free if you are an Amazon Prime Kindle owner (borrow with no due date). This book grew out of parents of students asking me questions along the lines of the title of the book. Finally I was able to get it all out and I hope it will empower parents with the confidence that there is a lot that they can do without having to relearn all of the math(s) that they might have forgotten.

<div>&quot;Dr. Yaqoob has years of tutoring experience and it shows. He takes math-concerned parents by the hand and shows them how they can help their child with math. Concepts that parents never quite `got' or barely remember are grist to the mill.
