"Better grades and higher test scores -- guaranteed!"--Cover.

Brain Benders 2 for Junior Primary Students is the second book in a series of three. It contains twenty-eight photocopiable mathematical problems which are all curriculum linked. Some of the problems are more challenging than others, thus the book caters for a range of abilities within the middle primary cohort. Each problem appears next to an answer page which not only provides the problem’s solution but clearly explains the methods that can be used to arrive at the solution. In this way, the Brain Benders 2 is designed to not only test a wide range of methods to solve problems but to equip students with effective problem solving techniques and strategies which will help strengthen their mathematical skills.

"If you're a parent who has decided to educate your children yourself, this book is the first you should buy."—?Washington Times The Well-Trained Mind will instruct you, step by step, on how to give your child an academically rigorous, comprehensive education from preschool through high school—one that will train him or her to read, to think, to ?understand?, to be well-rounded and curious about learning. Veteran home educators Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer outline the classical pattern of education called the trivium, which organizes learning around the maturing capacity of the child's mind and comprises three stages: the elementary school "grammar stage," the middle school "logic stage," and the high school "rhetoric stage." Using this theory as your model, you'll be able to instruct your child in all levels of reading, writing, history, geography, mathematics, science, foreign languages, rhetoric, logic, art, and music, regardless of your own aptitude in those subjects. This newly revised edition contains completely updated ordering information for all curricula and books, new and expanded curricula recommendations, new material on using computers and distance-learning resources, answers to common questions about home education, information about educational support groups, and advice on practical matters such as working with your local school board, preparing a high school transcript, and applying to colleges.
