Sounds great.<br />Also, I have a recommendation for you. A book I got today from an education coach. It's called, "Secrets, Lies, and Algebra"<br /><br />It uses a fictional, compelling story to make algebraic concepts understandable for kids. Awesome book. Simple, easy read for middle schoolers. Good 5th grade readers would enoy it too. Shoot, 9th graders would also love it.<br /><br />written by wendy lichtman "<br /><br />Thanks, Kareem for the recommendation!
