Direction Instruction Math is really expensive!

Not as expensive as trying to buy the presentation books for Connecting Math Concepts (which are what like $500 per grade level?) but still expensive enough I think most parents will be scared off.

I purchased my copy through a second hand store, https://www.worldofbooks.com. It took a bit of time waiting for a copy to show up but I paid less than $20 dollars for it.

Seriously. I'm a public school math teacher, mainly grade 9, and I've been wanting a copy of it for several years, but can't justify the money. I've looked for it used, as well. Author lucked out.

As an aside, I would point out that of the materials listed, Math Academy and AOPS/Beast Academy skew to parents whose students are trying to get ahead and need challenging materials, versus help, support, and remediation.
