Absolutely Fantastic December 6, 1999

This has to be one of the best mathematical reference books published today. It covers a wide range of topics from number theory, algebra, geometry, fractions, probability, statistics, ratios, etc. in a simple, highly illustrated, and easily referenced index to almost any math problem encountered by elementary to high school. Highly recommend you keep a copy at home for children';s homework help and one at the office for reference. It's that good. Wish Amazon would place a few illustrations from the book on-line to enable prospective buyers a chnace yo see how well the authors present this material. Should be on anyone with children's MUST HAVE list.
A wonderful resource!!! February 11, 2001

As a sixth grade math teacher, this is the first book I recommend to my students. MATH ON CALL shows step by step processes for every operation and explains complex ideas, such as division by fractions and multiplication with decimals, in a conceptual manner. This book is a must-have for every student, ages 8-18!
A "MUST HAVE" for every student and parent September 5, 2000

WOW! I am not under 13, just a Middle School Math teacher who does not like publishing email addresses over the net. This book is great. The agony many parents go through trying to make sense of the way traditional text books explain (or fail to explain) mathematical concepts can now be eased. The book is written in plain language and covers every imaginable topic that a Middle School student would cover in their math class. Students and parents both will be able to look up the needed topic (topics are neatly indexed and grouped appropriately) and bring much needed clarity to the sometimes vague notes taken by the student in class and perhaps refresh the students memory as to what the teacher presented in class. I wish every student had one of these books. I recommend it strongly to all of my students. :)
Great Parent, Teacher and Student resource December 5, 1999

As a middle school math teacher, I frequently have parents tell me, "It has been so long since I took math, I just need a resource to help remember how to do these things". (ie fractions) I tell them to order this book. The examples are clear and well illustrated. The book is colorful and engaging. Our school has bought class sets of this book and we are going to organize a bulk order of books for parents. I think the topics covered would help students in grades 3-10.
When ever you need math its just a Call away! December 15, 2003

Math on Call is a great handbook for students or even adults having trouble in specific areas of Mathematics. The book is split up into sections, subsections, and types of the shown subsection. Rather than looking all over the place, you can find something simply by looking for what section it is in then looking in that section to find the subsection and so on. The best part is that the book does not put in a bunch of confusing mathematics terms but instead gives clear and fast examples. It also shows more than one method of solving the type of problem so you can find what method is best for you. This book is worth every penny and is vital to success in mathematics. Take it from me, I struggled in math until I found this.
