Welcome to ONE-DAY MATH! Enjoy 120 clear, quick lessons covering most of the arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and logic commonly taught in grades K-8, and many of the skills used in High School, Adult Education, and Vocational courses, all presented with humor and insight. You get an experienced tutor so you can learn or review "old" and "new" math at an adult level. The 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, parents, or anyone who wants to see how all the different concepts fit together.

What is ONE-DAY MATH, and How Can It Help Me?
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 for the math section of their credential exams, and high school students prepare for the GED or SAT. Over the years, thanks to everyone's encouragement and suggestions, the kit has been revised and e-x-p-a-n-d-e-d for a much wider audience, including adults in a variety of careers, and students with a variety of learning styles. 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.
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 CDF-S01 or Sony DNS313F.
Can I really complete ONE-DAY MATH in one day?
Although the math kit has been expanded to provide more than one day of instruction if desired, the original purpose has not been compromised. If you are comfortable with most of the math commonly taught in grades K-8, 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!
