Winners' Guide to Essential ISEE/SSAT (Lower) Math - Grade 4-5 - A Anderson - Bog

Winners' Guide to Essential ISEE/SSAT (Lower) Math -(Grades 4-5).
Full coverage of all topics and sub-topics starting from the basics
To do well in the ISEE/SSAT Math section, what is needed is a thorough study of the fundamentals, a basic grasp of the concepts, and developing an ability to apply these concepts to the ISEE/SSAT type problems.
Then comes the ability to solve a problem in multiple ways, the ability to use shortcuts when stumped, and the ability to guess intelligently.
Whether you are a natural at math or not, you do need to brush up /build up your fundamentals, and then go on to the more difficult problems under timed conditions.
And this is exactly what this book does. It helps you to develop a solid understanding of the underlying concepts, builds upon this understanding by providing various different types of examples, exposes you to alternative ways of looking at a particular problem, and finally allows you to practise your skills on nearly 1000 problems.
