It is the perfect way to gain confidence with numbers.

Publisher Review

Teachers should read this book ... which could well revolutionise the teaching of mathematics in the future. * Teachers' World * Even in the age of the calculator this new ... edition is well worth reading and the challenge of teaching the method to children who find arithmetic difficult is one which an adventurous teacher might well find rewarding. -- John Dunford * The Mathematical Gazette *
