I have all of the School Zone math workbooks from Grade K through 6th, including the Fractions and Math Puzzles. For any child who needs brushing up on math, particularly during the summer, or extra help understanding a concept that was taught too quickly in a classroom, these books are easy to understand. As a homeschooling mom of a very "visual" learner, the color pages and fun examples make math less of a chore, and the workbooks can stand alone, unlike some workbooks where they are meant to be a worksheet to accompany a lesson from a textbook or other. These workbooks can be given to a child to do on their own, as the instructions are at the top of each page and an example. I have also found, while grading the work, that the answer key is predominantly correct. I have only found a few instances where the answer key is wrong, and it was only one answer or an entire row of answers was missing. Obviously, at this level, I am able to determine the correct answer myself.
I did not find this book to be at a 2nd grade level. I bought the book for my rising 2nd grader to get a jump start skills for the coming skills only to find that the book covers mostly things he learned in Kindergarten (number line, coins, time, single number addition and subtraction) and 1st grade (place values, double digit addition and subtraction, measuring, graphs). There are a few pages of things that are 2nd grade in our world (fractions, addition/subtraction with place holders), but not enough to justify buying this book for an actual 2nd grader unless they struggle with math and need review. This book is all over the place. There are less than 60 pages but goes from 3+5 with pictures to 1000-250. I much prefer the books we have that cover a more limited set of learning. We passed this book on to my rising Kinder child, and she is able to do more of this book than I would have expected (the first part is REALLY basic). We will have to remember to pull this book out over the next 3 years to get my $3 worth. The only reason this book got 3 stars is because the price is much lower than many other workbook...but apparently you get what you pay for.
An excellent learning tool with a wide variety of math problems in an easy to use format.This is working well for our 6 year old to supplement what he's getting in grade 1 at school.He really enjoys the way the material is presented and we're very happy with the purchase
I have already ordered more books for the next grade level for my child because she showed almost immediate improvement at school after working in this notebook. The work is fairly easy and basic stuff, but the practice has been invaluable for my child. I like that the books are not huge: my daughter feels a sense of accomplishment when she finishes the whole workbook in a timely manner. And she is proud to get one of the included stickers on a page that she has done well on. This book definitely worked for us and I would recommend it to others that need a little extra math practice.
My ESL tutee will enter second grade in the fall. He reads well and does well in math. I provide summer homework so that he retains and gains information for his grade level.The tutee is an ambitious learner, furiously going through books. His parents and I have asked him to slow down to digest the reading and math materials. This is a great little book for his Juana summer homework.
This is a great book for students with second grade skills. I used it in class for an ESL student and a lower level student to introduce them to concepts that were taught at a higher level that they just weren't ready to grasp. This was a great way for me to introduce concepts and give them practice before working on grade level material.
Some of the pages are better than others, but in general it's good to build skills for 2nd grade. We do a page a day over summer break to prepare for the upcoming school year. There are maybe 20 math problems max. per page.
I was very pleased with this workbook. As a teacher, I know how important getting a good math foundation can be. The School Zone books help keep one's math skills fresh over the summer. This book was very reasonably priced.
