Each daily lesson contains three key parts: Review Exercises, Helpful Hints, and Problem Solving.

Teachers have flexibility in introducing new topics, but the book provides them with the necessary structure and guidance. The teacher can rest assured that essential math skills in this book are being systematically learned. This easy-to-follow program requires only fifteen or twenty minutes of instruction per day. Each lesson is concise and self-contained. The daily exercises help students to not only master math skills, but also maintain and reinforce those skills through consistent review - something that is missing in most math programs. Skills learned in this book apply to all areas of the curriculum, and consistent review is built into each daily lesson.

Teachers and parents will also be pleased to note that the lessons are quite easy to correct. This book is based on a system of teaching that was developed by a math instructor over a thirty-year period. This system has produced dramatic results for students. The program quickly motivates students and creates confidence and excitement that leads naturally to success. Please read the following How to Use This Book section and let this program help you to produce dramatic results with children and math students.

Working these problems together will ensure that the students understand the topic, and prevent a lot of unnecessary frustration. Step 4 Solutions are located in the back of the book.
