Ready for Math series.
Mathphobes may doubt Wingard-Nelson's promise: "Get ready to discover math...made easy!" Yet her concise explanations, clear examples, helpful diagrams, and clutter-free pages do make for friendly introductions to (or reviews of) math concepts. Illustrations, often humorous, help break up the text. There's nothing groundbreaking going on in these updated, retitled editions, but students and teachers will find the volumes useful. Reading list, websites. Ind. Review covers these Ready for Math titles: Ready for Addition, Ready for Division, Ready for Fractions and Decimals, Ready for Multiplication, Ready for Subtraction, and Ready for Word Problems and Problem Solving.

Math Smarts! series.
Each of these dense, textbooklike volumes, purportedly intended to let students "learn...at your own speed," includes twenty-eight subtopics on the title math concept. Even with some overlap (geometry/trigonometry) the organization is clear, and helpful graphics and embedded definitions are plentiful. The level varies greatly, from simple word problems to complex statistics. There are five other fall 2011 books in this series. Websites. Bib., ind. Review covers these Math Smarts! titles: Geometry Smarts!, Percent and Ratio Smarts!, Data, Graphing, and Statistics Smarts!, Problem Solving and Word Problem Smarts!, and Trigonometry Smarts!.
