Note: *Read in "Every Math Learner" - Chapter 2 -You may choose to read either the k-5 or 6-12 book. The chapters do correspond, only the page numbers do not align exactly. So I will always refer to the chapter/section title instead the page numbers. If you are interested, I would encourage/challenge you to read one thoroughly and at least scan the other book to view the adaptations for the other age group.
