Publisher's Description of Learn Math Fast System Volume 2, Fourth Edition
This is the second book in the Learn Math Fast series. It starts with fractions and then continues to decimal numbers and percentages. By teaching all three of these together, students can see the relationship between them. For example, we start with a dollar bill because it has a big "1" right on it. Next, we show that four quarters equals one dollar, every kid knows that. We go on to explain that each of those coins are 1/4 of the dollar, in other words, "one of the four pieces that it takes to make ONE." And all kids know that a quarter is 25 cents, so we teach them that 1/ 4 = .25. Finally, we show that a quarter is 25% of one dollar. Using examples that kids already understand makes the new concepts easier to learn, recall, and master. That is how the Learn Math Fast System can teach two years of math in about two months.
Other topics taught in volume 2 include cross multiplying, cross canceling, mixed numbers, negative numbers, and reducing fractions. These concepts are typically taught in the fourth and fifth grade, but there is no mention of grade level anywhere in the book. Each book cover looks as intellectual as the last, so older kids won't be embarrassed to carry a book that is below their grade level.
Every book in the series contains all lessons, worksheets, tests, and answers. A Teacher's Guide isn't necessary because it is self-directing.

Category Description for Learn Math Fast
Learn Math Fast is a streamlined, mastery-based math curriculum designed to help students quickly gain confidence and automaticity in math skills, from basic arithmetic all the way through high school Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry.
Written directly to the student in a clear, conversational (and sometimes humorous) style, the program focuses on conceptual understanding, useful math “tricks,” and plenty of practice. It works well as a stand-alone curriculum or as a targeted supplement for students who need to fill gaps or move at an accelerated pace.
The Program’s Level Structure
- Level 1: Math facts and foundational skills
- Level 2: Fractions, decimals, and percentages
- Level 3: Pre-Algebra
- Level 4: Basic Geometry
- Level 5: Algebra 1
- Level 6: Algebra 2
- Level 7: High School Geometry
Each softcover book contains lessons, practice worksheets, chapter tests, and a final review test. Detailed solutions are included in the back of every book. The first four levels are suitable for a wide range of ages and are especially helpful for students who need to strengthen foundational skills. Levels 5–7 cover standard high school math.
Key Features
- Mastery-based approach where students practice until they truly understand each concept
- Short, focused lessons with built-in review
- Free downloadable extra worksheets available with each book
- Minimal teacher prep (no separate Teacher Guide needed)
- Conversational tone written at a 3rd–4th grade reading level
Note on Manipulatives: Level 1 uses coins as manipulatives. Level 4 requires a simple Geometry Kit (sold separately). Level 7 uses “Smart Cards” for postulates and theorems.
Learn Math Fast is an excellent choice for homeschool families who want an efficient, no-fluff math program that gets students to mastery quickly and builds strong mathematical confidence.
