Summary: A great resource to help teach your kids subtraction, but it's strictly a book of exercises, drills, etc. No replacement for one on one teaching.We have our first grader working on this - she does one page each night along with her regular homework. The first dozen or so pages were subtraction review. Then it starts to get tougher. For example, 43-17 = 26 where you have to carry the tens. She was having some trouble, but after slowly walking her through a few problems she picked it up right away.In terms of skill level it's fairly well correlated to what the public schools target as the grade level outcomes - this is clearly a year advanced of what her school is teaching at first grade level, but a half year head start can't be bad and it certainly wasn't beyond her capabilities.The repetitive nature of the exercises in this book really helps. We highly recommend it!If you've found this review helpful or have questions/comments, please let us know!
Best learning system!!!I compared few different books, but i think kumon is the best !!!My kid is kindergartener, but already finished 2 nd grade math and doing multiplication.Book is well made, so far she had never complained.We will keep using kumon books.
The Kumon method uses repitition of basic skills, to allow them to gain confidence in the key areas of the maths curriculum. As such, they are not the only workbook you will need, but they do give plenty of practice in key areas. This workbook takes your child from simple subtraction (eg 9 - 5 =) right up until three digit subtraction and subtraction of hundreds and thousands. There is a Grade 2 level book in both subtraction and addition and practice of these basic, but so important skills, will give your child confidence and improve their maths ability in many other areas of the curriculum, such as problem solving and mental maths. If your child is struggling with subtraction, then completing just one page per day will be a painless way of giving them lots of practice.
We started out using Grade 2 material as the actual Kumon program measures and takes a similar approach. It ensures the child has full mastery of the basics. Our son motored through this quickly though given it is self paced. In the course of a year he has moved from Grade 2 to Grade 5. It is a great way to enhance your child's learning.
Love Kumon workbooks - my 6 year old just finished first grade and decided to keep his math fresh as well as prep him for the next grade. He does them well, 2 pages a day. The work progresses just right for him.
Great practice if your child needs to focus on subtraction. What I like about Kumon workbooks is they focus on mastery of one thing. Practice makes perfect!
This book is wonderful. Like all Kumon books, it took my son from subtracting single digits to triple digits (that's where we are now) I see that there is more. If you want a book that helps your child learn the concepts of subtraction, this is not it. If you want a book that will help your child practice and perfect his/her skills, then this is it. You will still need to supervise and guide.
She was beginning to say and believe she is just "bad at match". She shouldn't be; she showed at lot of aptitude when she was 3. But 20-30 minutes a night with this and she is progressing very rapidly. Multiplication is next!
