Math Smarts! series. Each of these dense, textbook-like volumes, purportedly intended to let students "learn . . . at your own speed," includes twenty-eight subtopics on the title math concept. Even with some overlap (geometry/trigonometry) the organization is clear, and helpful graphics and embedded definitions are plentiful. The level varies greatly, from simple word problems to complex statistics. There are five other fall 2011 books in this series. Websites. Bib., ind., The Horn Book Guide Spring 2012
