My son, rising into 4th grade, was not doing well on focusing on reading the question. His arithmetic was fine, but he would work too quickly and not pay attention to what was being asked of him. The 36 lessons in this book were an excellent fit. Each lesson focuses on level appropriate addition, subtraction, mixed calculations, multiplication and division. Plus some graphs and time problems. Level of difficulty was not arduous and it would taken him about twenty minutes to do two lessons a day. Maybe 10 questions a lesson on average. Perfect for summer time and giving him some responsibility in keeping track of where he was supposed to be. His skills in reading the question improved and he even grudgingly admitted that it was a lesson well learned. I did tape the back few pages shut where the answer key is located.
I needed extra math and reading/writing practice for my kids in 3rd and 1st grade. These books are easy to understand, very systematic and kids love it. we take them along in the car even for short drives. It keeps the kids busy in the back seat. would recommend these to any parent that would like their child to excel academically. who doesn't?? I've purhased about a dozen plus Kumon books from already and intend to purchase many more.
As a person who had a hard time in school with Word Problems, I instinctively bought this book for my 3rd grader in hopes that it would make word problems seem easier. He has mastered most of the principles within the book but one thing I hoped it would do was explain how to dissect a word problem to be able to answer it. It didn't do that. Kumon, in my opinion follows the Montessori rule of teaching, and therefore I do not recommend this product for independent study for kids who haven't had introduction to this type of math. I do recommend this product for parents who are willing to review the answer keys and give more in-depth instruction before giving this material as reinforcement of that instruction.
Word problems can be a challenge. This workbook offers a variety of word problems for extra practice. Word problems for addition or subtraction is followed by length and time. Multiplication and division is followed by mixed calculations which require two processes for resolution and then graphs and tables is after that. An answer key is in the back of the book.
As soon as we received this in the mail (which was lightening fast!), we started working on this book. It's a little too redundant but i'm assuming it will pick up as we get deeper into the lessons. We're on lesson 8 now and find that it makes my son think and READ the questions. Totally would recommend this if your child needs to have extra help on the word problems like mine does.
I have ordered all the books in the 3rd and 4th grade series...math and reading/writing. After I ordered 2 books, I was so impressed that I wanted them all. It is perfect for "filling in the gaps" for my son. He can work at his own pace and continue learning throughout the summer. We are going to continue with these books throughout the school year. I would highly recommend these books to any parent who wants to help their child make major improvements in reading and math.
I got this book for my 8 years old and I like it a lot. She needs more homework that school offering to stay challenged so this book is great for that. We been using it every day and I can see the difference it makes in her learning style. I do recommend it.
This is an excellent book for my son. It has math stories that will exercise his math comprehension. Very happy with this book!!!
