I've used a few of the Fisher math skills for my kids and have to say that for the most part, they are great, particularly if you get the DVD/book combo where there is a short segment to watch and then a page or two to follow with the book. He is a good teacher and reinforces the previously learned material. What my one complaint would be is that we've come across several mistakes and when I tried to reach someone through their website, I never received a reply. It's unfortunate when your child is learning something and the given answer is incorrect; the editing hasn't been thorough enough in checking answers to all the problems. Having said that, though, if you help your kids this shouldn't deter you. We've been happy with the program overall. Also, I'd love to have the DVD option for every book.

In his customary succinct and painless way, Richard Fisher has written a series of skill specific math workbooks. Like an efficient patch kit, each book seals any holes that might exist in your student's math skills. I had the opportunity to look over these six, streamlined, no-fluff workbooks (just the way I like them). Fractions, Geometry, Percents and Decimals, Problem Solving, Whole Numbers and Integers, and Pre-algebra Concepts are individually and precisely targeted. Each subject is given a thorough yet simple treatment (a rare combination). First, by laying a firm foundation with the basics, building precept upon precept, and finally topping off the skills we have gained with final reviews to ensure hole-free mastery. With my limited understanding of math, I was able to easily comprehend the short lessons in the Helpful Hints section with examples. I could have used a little more explanation for the more complex concepts to nudge my brain to its grasping point; still, I was able to ascertain a concept by looking at the answer and figuring out how it was arrived at (I call it creative learning). I used Pre-Algebra Concepts with companion DVD for a review of Pre-Algebra and would unquestionably have used it as my son's primary text had I discovered this series sooner (the other books in this series do not come with a companion DVD). I recommend these books and will be using them for reinforcing any weak areas that crop up in my son's math comprehension.

I ended up purchasing all of the Mastering Essential Math Skills books and have no regrets about doing so. The problems focus on learning the basics of each skill (add, subtract, multiply and divide decimals) with each page increasing in difficulty. At the end of each concept (say the topic is decimals-all operations) there would be a mixed review page where each concept is covered. My students find the work manageable and not overbearing. Highly recommended.

I am exposing my 5th grader to geometry ideas for review in pre-Algebra and preparation for upcoming math courses. This book is challenging, but also easy enough for her to work independently. I really like that each page has a small "review" section so she can remember concepts she has already done (adding decimals, etc). This section is short enough that it doesn't take away from the Geometry concepts, but gives the student enough time to "warm up" for math and go in to the lesson with confidence. We both like this book.

Excellent overview of basic geometry. Lessons are short and to the point. My son actually loves working in it. The reviews tied into the lessons have helped him build his confidence as he also learns new things.

My homeschooled child loves Geometry from previous exposure; I chose this and he flew through it, understanding the concepts in this well-presented workbook. I learned some things, too. Not for advanced proofs but learning basics in a clear, concise way.
