I really like this workbook. It is not one of those that's in color, but the layout is simple and clear without a lot of distraction, which is something that not all of the books in this category can claim.The idea is that you do 5 problems per session, with a small quiz at the end of five sessions to make sure the information 'stuck'. We have found (and I'm now starting this book with my second child) that 5 problems are so easy and fun that we sometimes do more than one unit a day.Besides the clear format, the other aspect of this book that I like is that the problems aren't all presented in the same format. For example, right off the bat, they have horizontal arithmetic problems along with a word problems and pictorial problems.A horizontal problem:3 + 1 = ____Word problem :Tom has one ball. He buys one more. How many does he have in all?Picture problem:Well can't paste a picture, but here's an example: The picture will show four pennies and the question will be "How much?"Four Stars. We have found this an excellent workbook that can be easily understand. Five problems at a time is generally not too much, even for active children like mine. This book however is ONLY a workbook with exercise problems. Parents and others looking for HOW to teach math book will have to look elsewhere. May I suggest "Math for Your 1st and 2nd Grader" by Steve Slavin. Math for Your First- and Second-Grader: All You Need to Know to Be Your Child's Best Teacher
I used this book for after-school review with my 6-year-old son. The format (5 problems per day, including 1 word problem) worked great. Used on a daily basis, it provides just enough repetition to do the trick.You get a total of 180 sets of problems, broken down into 36 weeks. Each set takes up 1/2 of one side of a page. The book provides lots of variety in its problem sets. All in all, this book delivers what it promises, and then some.Highly recommended.
I use several enrichment books with my first grader as after-school review, and would highly recommend the Daily Math Practice Grade 1 book. There are five daily problems spread over 36 weeks and covers computation, word problems, patterns, understanding numbers, geometry, graphing, and measurement. My daughter enjoys working on the problems in this book as there's variety in the way the problems are structured. In addition, the problems are repeated in different formats so that a child can be trained to solve similar problems without too much thought - after a while, my daughter was doing most of the problems mentally as she had memorized a lot of the common number facts.I also appreciate the thinking questions in this book. For example: "Penny gives her dog a bone every morning and every night. How many bones does she need in one week?" - here, the child will be expected to figure out that in one day, the dog ate two bones; and then in one week there are seven days, so it will be two times seven equals fourteen. This is a great way to integrate the concept of multiplication, and there are other problems which introduce children to fractions. We can't wait to move on to the next level!
This is a great supplement to my son's homework. Sadly his school is going through education reform and I don't agree with the lack of concentration on math this year so this is a great way for me (a strong NON-teacher type) to be able to help build on where I think he needs to be education-wise.
We've used this workbook to supplement our homeschool math curriculum (Shiller), which is more advanced but at a different pace than Daily Math Practice. For example, our math doesn't do fractions yet but does do 3 and 4 digit addition with carrying. My son's reading skills aren't up to this workbook, but his geometry skills far surpass it. His mental math and Roman numerals are ahead of the book, as well. In addition, the format is boring: black and white, no use of manipulatives (though you can use your own ideas, of course), no variation on the pages at all.Every child is different, as is every math curriculum. I wouldn't purchase this again, but if my son was still in school and needed practice, this workbook would be fine. Math To Learn/Math On Call/Math At Hand, along with their Teacher Resource Books, are far better for parent/family resources and practice of skills. We use them frequently and can't recommend them highly enough. But Daily Math Practice is quick and reinforces some skills, and it does help with knowing where they "should" be for homeschoolers.
The perfect supplemental work. I like how each daily section is bite-sized, but still keeps the concepts fresh in the student's mind. The only thing I will say about this book is that sometime the directions are vague, but usually you can help your child figure it out.
My son likes the daily review. I like that it hits different skills daily. He likes the weeks progress chart. He is 6 and about to start 1st grade. Reading is hard for him so the short word problems are great because he doesn't feel discouraged by them.
This is a great work book, My kids love it because its has only a few problems each day. I love it because the instructions are great and the workbook is enough to help them with their education and not be a daunting task. I home school my 4 children and this is great brand. I use it for each subject.
