Host Leonard Morochnick is the instructor for this two-volume primer on decimals and percents. Telling viewers to “sit back—but not too far back—and enjoy!”, Morochnick outlines key concepts using a whiteboard and onscreen notepad, exploring topics including adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimals; place value and conversion; rounding; turning fractions into decimals and decimals into percentages; and application word problems. Math Made Easy puts all of this into perspective with real-world variables, including practical situations involving money, feet and inches, weight, store sales, and even baseball batting averages. A solid step-by-step primer with plenty of practice review problems, this is recommended.
