Tiger Math is a systematic math workbook series that stands out compared to other existing workbooks that are currently on the market. It is easy for parents to have a global view of the entire curriculum in terms of how the different math topics are layed out in sequential order. Other existing math workbooks do not give you that big picture view of how things are layed out, making it difficult for parents to pick out which book would be suitable for their children. Another point that Tiger Mathmakes which I agree with, is its focus on formation of good study habits. when I look at my students in my freshman "Introduction to Engineering" class at my university, the biggest thing that I notice is the lack of discipline and study habits in the students coming out of high school. Good study habits need to be formed early, and I think that Tiger Math does a good job of addressing that message. Daily math work after school, even if it is for ten minutes would have the positive effect of instilling self motivation. There is no substitute for hard work and young people need to experience that message early on. I wish that many young students and their parents give Tiger Math a try. I know that they won't be disappointed! --
