Captain Science has been doing better at math than I expected. Due to swift passing of the last few bridges, we’ve arrived at the final bridge of Life of Fred: Decimals and Percents and I don’t have the next book(s) yet! Yikes! I’m not sure Patchfire and Eclectic Girl have finished w/ Beginning Algebra yet, either, so we don’t have any math to do once he passes this bridge.
On a positive note, I’m taking him up to my brother’s house from Saturday through Tuesday of next week for his tour of Icarus Studios, so I could more order books and have them arrive while I’m gone, in theory. The real issue here is that his completion of the book took me unawares, and the onus of that falls on me for not paying close enough attention. I thought he had one more regular bridge and a few more chapters before the final bridge. Oops.
I guess I could pick up some review stuff (like the Key To… series) to help fill the gap until EG has finished w/ Beginning Algebra, but that would require going to Scary JesusBook Store. Hmm….decisions, decisions.
LOL. Oh, please go to the Scary Jesus Bookstore! Those SJB posts crack me up. Whatever you do, don’t let Babypie into the communion crackers.
It’s not just Scary Jesus Books. It’s Scary Jesus Books with a strong Germanic accent and Ronald Reagan calenders!
No need to venture to _that_ store. Buy him this book, and turn him loose. Forget the textbooks for a while and help him have some real fun with math.

Seriously, this is a great book if his reading level is up for it (marketed for 9-12).
His reading level is well above the 9-12 range, but then, Life of Fred isn’t exactly a textbook, either.
get the sir cumference books from the library? check out http://www.livingmath.net/ Review with Khan Academy?
Is it near Rita’s? I’ll go with you! Maybe I’ll wear my burqa…
It’s on the way to Rita’s, anyway.
