Synopsis:
Diffuse the Math Bomb
Finally after Ten Thousand Years of Civilization
Mathematics is Made Easy
MISHAWAKA, INDIANA- My new hero, and sure to be yours too, is Jay A. Snyder. Jay has written a brilliant new work. Diffuse the Math Bomb: Self-Teaching Guide for Parents & Students, and has finally taken the sting and pain out of the longstanding battle with mathematics.
Yes, you heard me right. As a confirmed math hater who struggled with the burden of this misunderstood subject all of her life, I can personally attest with livid astonishment and unbridled celebration that our liberation has been delivered by this unbelievable author.
Jay presents with crystal clarity and precise easy instructions that will have staunchest disbeliever learning new concepts with ease. Starting with fractions, you will be saying, “So that’s what they meant.” And you will begin working with the math problems instantly. Never before has anyone made such a complicated subject so simple.
The book continues with proportions, GCF and LCM, scientific notation, and moves on to negatives, averages, area, and volume. Concluding with metrics, motion, trigonometry, and yes, quadratic equations. Jay Snyder covers every subject with simple instructions and excellent illustrations.
So if your eyes glaze over even with the thought of Algebra or you shake with fear at the thought of “Ok. One train leaves at 60 mph from Chicago…” then this book can become you math salvation. Diffuse the Math Bomb is a ‘must have’ for all school programs as well as tutors.
Author's Bio:
Jay Snyder
As far back as I can remember I always enjoyed teaching and instructing. Growing up in a neighborhood with many kids, I was always teaching. It didn’t matter if it were basketball, baseball, volleyball, 4-square, or hop scotch. I was always explaining rules and demonstrating techniques to younger kids. I remember playing and showing others how to play. In high school I taught beginning drum lessons to 5th and 6th graders. I belonged to FTA (Future Teachers of America) my junior and senior years and remember wanting to teach and coach since 8th grade.
Attending Ball State University (Muncie, IN) because it was known as the teachers college in the 1960’s, I graduated in 1973 with a Bachelor of Science degree in education licensed to teach secondary math, physical education and health. I earned my Master of Science degree from IU of South Bend (South Bend, IN) in 1978 and later received an Administrative License, also at IUSB (1994).
With 25 years experience teaching math and coaching (including 19 years at the middle school level), I am a firm believer in mastery learning. The philosophy is simple. Not everyone learns at the same pace; but everyone can learn and can master concepts. I was fortunate to pilot a mastery learning program for 9th grade Algebra students in the early 1980’s and able to further develop the strategy in years to follow.
Writing this book seemed to be a natural thing to do. Presenting and simplifying math for parents and students was something I saw a need for. Mastering math concepts is 90+% dependent on how it is presented and less than 10% on math aptitude. My intention is to take away much of the frustration both parents and students have when working through those homework assignments.
