After far too many years out-of-print, Dorothy Harrer's
beloved Math Lessons is again available - and this
edition is even better than the original. Now all of the
lessons have been organized by grade and proofread
by expert mathematics teachers. Additionally, there
are wonderful excerpts from Steiner that have been
added; each of them beautifully illuminates the
approach you'll find in this book. Overall, this is a
book to love and rely on - it is filled with joyful potency.
