This book is good.I was confident that my son can get through the basics of basic Math : Addition , subtraction and Multiplication without spending the $130 a month on Kumon class. A year full of Addition and subtraction is a reasonable time frame, more is just fine. After few years of Kumon books ,I felt he is ready to jump into Multiplication. This book has nice multiplication sheets but for every multiplication table 2 ( or 3 or 4 until 10), it has only two or three pages, and so You cannot avoid supplemental worksheets from the Internet.MY METHODOLOGY:I found this technique very effective, and so sharing with you.DAY ONE : Make photocopy of page no 1, 2,3,4 and 5DAY TWO : Skip Page number one, add Page number 6 and so on.Revisit earlier exercises if Kid is not comfortable,and then spin the wheels again.BACKGROUND:I have two kids , one who attended Kumon classes and another who is doing Kumon at home, courtesy of all the books out there. Since both of them are few years into Kumon, wanted to share my experiences and probably help few young parents who might be debating sending their kids to Kumon vs teach at home.A FRIENDLY NOTE TO PARENTS:Kids will enjoy Kumon, and will feel proud of the accomplishment.Kumon is all about consistency and regularity. What is important is you got to make the kid completed targeted number of worksheets every single day ; Meaning Sunday, Christmas, Thanksgiving. Let them do 5 -10 minutes of Kumon before you leave the hotel to Disneyland (It is not cruel, your kid's competitor is an unknown chubby face in Singapore or skinny dry haired boy from India,not your neighbor's kid with top level expertise in XBox). Home work for next day should be ready the day before;not bring the copies from office and by then the kid is tired.This discipline is difficult; and I can attest to it.Let the kid do the homework soon after they are back from School. Try to have them do at the same time everyday, sitting in the same desk; not in your lap one day and on a dining table the next day. If you find it difficult to enforce consistency, put them in Kumon. Let them do Kumon while fresh, not sleepy. If they ask for help, turn off the stove, help them and then resume your tasks. Cook food, do Laundry, mop floors but do not watch TV (mute or no mute) while they are doing Kumon. If they have not finished after 15 minutes, you gave too many pages or you pushed them hard.RESULTS COMPARISON:My younger kid is fast in basic Math related to other kids in his class ,but my elder kid who had the advantage of physical class was much faster when she was his age. All is not rosy with Kumon. Kumon is brute abstraction , detached from real world examples . One thing I noticed is that my elder kid, while ultra fast in calculations,thanks to Kumon gets easily bogged down by word problems.Sometimes adds up where she needs to subtract and vice versa.Remember A kid who is in Kumon (Physical class) generally has a calculation speed that mimics a calculator. I doubt if these books will ever accomplish that feet.LIST :My Book Of Numbers 1-30 (Kumon Workbooks)My Book Of Number Games 1-150 (Kumon Workbooks)My Book Of Simple AdditionMy Book of AdditionMy Book of Simple Subtraction (Kumon Workbooks)My Book of Subtraction (Kumon Workbooks)Few other Kumon and non Kumon books.

More to review of multipication after using "simple multipication".

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.

I plan on using this book in the summer once my 6 year old completes the 1st book in the series "My Book of Simple Multiplication!" I enjoy how this books breaks up the problems and the repetition. I enjoy all the Kumon Math Books. I will give an updated review once my son gets halfway through the book!

Love Kumon products. Have been using them for over 3 years now for our children. The repetition has helped them memorize and retain times tables and get so much quicker at addition, subtraction and many other topics.

Thanks to this workbook my son has now mastered his multiplication table. It focuses on one topic which is good since other workbook may have a lot of topics in them but the child isn't able to master any of them, that's why kumon workbooks are much better than any other workbooks on the market.

Wonderful book that I use as a supplement to a 2nd grader. He hasn't even learned multiplication in school yet but has been able to handle the ease of which the book guides them through.

We love the Kumon books. My son was struggling to learn the concepts of multiplication and the kumon approach was just what he needed. It is a more in depth approach, giving the student time to actually learn one concept before moving on to the next.We will continue buying the Kumon books.
