Star Wars Workbook: 2nd Grade Math (Star Wars Workbooks) Read Free Books and Download eBooks
The Force is strong with this series! Introducing a line of workbooks that marries the iconic popularity of Star Wars with the unique mix of editorial quality, fun presentation, and rigorous educational standards that Workman applied to the BRAIN QUEST Workbooks. Twelve titles launch the series―three each for Pre-K through 2nd Grade―and dig deep into core subjects, including numbers, ABCs, phonics, and reading readiness for younger grades, and math, reading, and writing for the older ones. The material, which aligns with national Common Core State Standards, is designed to reinforce essential concepts and lessons taught in schools. Any child, not just fans of Star Wars―but yes, those fans will be especially delighted (as will reluctant learners)―will love the “A” is for Anakin approach to phonics. Kids will practice learning numbers by counting and circling X-wing starfighters and clone troopers. Master place values by sorting groups of Wookiees. There are math problems―Yoda is holding 7 lightsabers. 5 of the lightsabers are blue. The rest are green. How many green lightsabers is he holding? And Language Arts―Circle the correct homophone in this sentence: Luke is a Jedi knight/night. Featuring favorite characters like Luke Skywalker, Queen Amidala, Yoda, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and other creatures, monsters, Jedi, and Sith, the workbooks are filled with thousands of original illustrations drawing from all six Star Wars movies and the expanded Star Wars universe.Learn well, you will.

Bought the set for summertime to get ready for school next year and make sure that my Little Lion doesn't forget what he had already learned last year. He was so excited when they came in he immediately wrote his name inside and started working on the first pages! He looks forward to finding out which Star Wars characters are coming up. Glad that I purchased these. He would still rather play and use his electronics, but it is no problem to get him to do his workbooks. If your kid loves Star Wars you should buy these.Doing a two page spread doesn't take too much time and keeps him in the routine of homework. Uses Star Wars theme throughout.
We are a homeschooling family and I like to mix things up, figured this would be good to entertain as well as teach. I like the book, my 8 year old son enjoyed it and math was decent. I thought it was a little simple, but it used games for some things, like equation tic tac toe.I didn't notice any wacky common core weirdness, just good plain math. It was about 30 pages, a little on the short side but good price, quality and worth it to reinforce some math basics.
Actual quote from my seven-year-old the evening we got this book: "Please, mommy, can I do more math!" Granted, it was time to go to bed, but still…. I haven't had a chance to really look through the book to see how good it is, but the fact that both of my twins want to do math over the summer is great.
Pros--Nice thick coloring pagesCons--Not much content in the book/pages since the priority is on other pictures/colorse.g. One page contains count by 3 which goes from 3 to 21 (one whole page contains only this)Other page where count by 4 goes from 4 to 40 only (one whole page contains only this)--Probably the skill level is not up to the standard of 7-8 year e.g. above 2 examples
The layout and star wars related stuff are fine, I have no complaint about them, and the paper quality, printing, and binding seem high quality as well. However, my child recently ended 1st grade at a common core compliant school and will enter 2nd grade next fall. I bought this book to help keep him up to date on his math. However, this 2nd grade level book is below him. He worked on a lot of these concepts at the beginning of first grade. I like this series in general. The Writing seems on target (and fun) and the Reading is the right sort of challenging. However the Math is far too easy and bores him. Part of the point of common core was to get students from different schools working at more or less the same pace on the same concepts in the same order. This is a big part of why I like it, and why I like this common core compliant series. However he/his class were either all working way ahead or this book is too simple. I'm not sure which. I don't know if we'll continue working on it as review or not. If you are home schooling or supplementing and moving directly from the 1st grade book to this one you'll probably be fine, though.
My child is actually doing workbooks in the summer and liking it. Books do tend to be on the easier side of the grade level. Might want to go for the next grade up.
Great problems and makes math fun for our 5-6 year old. Most problems are at 1st grade level no second.
My 2nd grader HATES math...it's been a struggle to get him just to catch up with his classmates so I saw this and figured, couldn't hurt. HE COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN! He spent a good hour going through it the first day he got it, took it to school with him the next day to do it in the bus line, and has worked on it almost every day since. Some of the things are really easy...like a list of 5 problems where the answer is all 1 and it says 1 in the illustration (not sure the point of that), but overall I'm extremely pleased with this. He's excited about math and is working on it daily without tears or sighs or eye rolling. He even chose this over the computer math practice game! It has coloring, riddles, and all different ways to work through math.
