Hands-On Activities and Real-Life Examples for

Test Preparation  *  Teaching or Tutoring  *  Math on the Job   *  Reducing Math Anxiety

Man, this thing is hecka cool! –– Kenny S., GED student

I PASSED THE TEST!!!!!  Your teaching style was so helpful, and easy to understand.  I felt confident all the way through.  Before taking One-Day Math, I had failed the on-line practice test badly.  During the real test, I kept thinking about what you said: "Stay calm, work neatly, and answer the right question."  I'm going to continue to study Part 5, as my daughter, age 11, needs help with learning algebra. I can't thank you enough.  I've been out of work on disability for 3 years, and usually feel very depressed, however today, I feel hope and excitement for a good future in my new career, thanks to you!! –– Elizabeth B.

I looked at your website before I enrolled in Boston Reed, but didn't order a kit until I was in the middle of the course and couldn't do the math.  I wish I had ordered earlier! ––Pharmacy Tech student

Welcome to ONE-DAY MATH!  Enjoy 120 clear, quick audio lessons covering most of the arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and logic commonly taught in grades K-8, and many of the basic math skills taught in High School, Adult Education, Community College, and Vocational courses, all presented with humor and insight at an adult level.  ONE-DAY MATH can help you through job transitions, home-schooling, and ordinary life.  After you learn the material, the audio CDs and hands-on materials become your tool kit for teaching math to others, and some parts can even be used by children.  Here's a great gift for teachers, tutors, homework helpers, students, parents, employees, or friends.

Can I use ONE-DAY MATH if I don't have a computer? 
YES!  Just find a comfortable place with a table or desk.  Play the audio CDs in any machine that would play a music CD–– you can use a computer, but you might prefer to sit at your dining table with a small boom box, or at an outdoor cafe with your music CD player and headphones.  Your machine should have a Pause button so you can stop the lesson while you do the hands-on activities, and a Reverse button that will allow you to go back and repeat a few words. repeat a few words. repeat a few words. Try Sony CFD-S01 or Sony DNS313F.
 
Can I really complete ONE-DAY MATH in one day? 
YES, if needed, or you can slow down. Although the math kit can provide more than one day of instruction if desired, the original purpose has not been compromised.  If you are comfortable with arithmetic and basic high school math, and just need a quick review to prepare for a test or a new job, you can reach your goals in one day of dedicated study, skipping the lessons that are not of immediate use to you.  Otherwise, you can slow down to work at a comfortable pace, spending more time on the written exercises and various hands-on activities; many of these are done with the sound turned off.  Some people use ONE-DAY MATH to build their skills day after day, week after week, month after month, which is not as boring as you might think, because these activities are challenging and fun!   Use ONE-DAY MATH to review K-8 math skills, build a solid foundation for high school math, prepare for a test, improve job skills, reduce math anxiety, and learn how to teach math to others.

Learn from a professionally designed curriculum that meets YOUR needs!
ONE-DAY MATH Quick & Easy Review Kit started in 1999 as a set of audio cassette tapes and hands-on materials to help teachers prepare (in one day!) for the math section of their credential exams–– and beyond that, to succeed in their jobs.  In 2005-2007, the audio CD version was developed, revised and e-x-p-a-n-d-e-d for a much wider audience, reflecting input from a wide variety of people who have used and reviewed ONE-DAY MATH.  Enormous thanks go to those helpful instructors and students at Boston Reed College for Health Career Training, staff at Foothill and Cañada Community Colleges, math coordinators at San Mateo and Santa Clara County Offices of Education, nurse-educators at Stanford Hospital, program directors at Veterans Upward Bound and other TRIO programs nationwide, faculty and students at Adult Education programs, Vocational Training programs, and "regular people" including a mail carrier in rural Vermont, a water-recycling facility supervisor, and others.  Even now, YOU are welcome to provide feedback and suggestions on how to help adults in a variety of careers, and students with a variety of learning styles.  For those teaching elementary and middle school, ONE-DAY MATH Quick & Easy Review follows the K-8 curriculum guidelines (expectations) set by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), whose Principles and Standards guide the math curriculum for most public and private schools in the United States. 


Who uses ONE-DAY MATH?

I looked over the math kit and thought it was very useful. It turned out to be, because she got 100% on the math test. Thanks for making it available. She will let some friends use it now to help them as a refresher for their math skills. Thanks! –– Betsy M.
