What's the Khan Academy of math books covering up to and including middle-school math? Khan Academy uses intuitive drawings to show why equivalent fractions work, why fraction multiplication works, etc. It also shows why standard algorithms like the long-division one work. But the books I've seen like Everything You Need to Ace Maths in One Big Fat Notebook just dump the rules showing why they work. I did find Understanding Numbers in Elementary School Mathematics, but this book goes too far in the opposite extreme with belabored rigor. Looking for a Khan-style book as in-between.
80 IQ btw.

And so on....
If you still can't understand, you are probably a lost cause.

Technically speaking I am still right since it's a pretty good book.

I think this to. Why don’t more books use a sort of flowchart diagram to show what to do when shown with certain problems?
>b4 “but it doesn’t teach you why your doing it in that way!”
School doesn’t teach you and doesn’t need to teach you that anyway. And depending on what you’ll do later on you won’t need to know so who cares
