Customer Reviews

Already written book

I am very dissatisfied with this book order, almost all the pages were already written. My son is dissappointed too

I'm very dissatisfied with this book. I ordered a book in very good condition to get it all written

I hate that this book is already written In almost all pages.

great book

I bought three workbooks- first,second, and fourth grade books. They are great to have when the kids don't get enough homework sent home or if they need more practice in a specific subject. I will continue to use them in the summer to keep their skills up and better prepare them for the upcoming school year. I highly recommend these books.

BrainQuest 4

This is an excellent primer for 4th grade as it reviews a lot of 3rd grade before launching in to 4th grade curriculum. We highly recommend this series.

Brainiac!

I assign my daughter about 4 pages a day as an addition to her school curriculum. Not only does she love this colorful book, but is awarded stickers for completing chapters. When all the chapters are done, she receives her braniac award. This book is full of confidence building strategies, in addition to easy learning. The brain boxes on each page explains to you in detail how to teach the lesson, if the child can follow directions they will be able to self-teach. Good book for a good price.

Creating a solid foundation for new learning opportunities

This is one in a series of workbooks, each of which offers an abundance of learning activities, exercises, and games that are presented with superb production values. Appropriate to the given age level, much of the material focuses on basic subjects such natural science, mathematics, history, and social studies while enabling children to strengthen their reading, reasoning, and writing skills. The editors of Brain Quest believe that: "All kids are smart - though they learn at their own speed All kids learn best when they're having fun All kids deserve the chance to reach their potential - given the tools they need, there's no limit how far they can go!" I agree, while presuming to add that children will learn more and have more fun meanwhile if, when completing various exercises, adults are involved. As a parent of four and a grandparent of ten, I can personally attest to the pleasure an adult will also have. Each volume in the series is a WORK book. Exercises are completed with crayolas or pencils on the page on which it appears. Correct answers are provided. One caveat: Resist the temptation to control the learning process as a child completes an exercise. This volume, Grade 4 (ages 9-10), was written by Barbara Gregorich, with Patty McGee serving as consulting editor. It is worth noting that McGee is a past winner of the Milken Foundation National Educator Award. The material consists of organized curriculum-based exercises that help children strengthen their skills in spelling and vocabulary, language arts, reading, writing, math skills, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, fractions and decimals, geometry and measurement, probability and data, solving word problems, social studies, science...and following directions. Also included are more than 150 stickers, an all-new Brain Quest Mini-Card Deck, and a fold-out "Seven Continents, One World" poster. All exercises are cleverly designed, with specific directions that are easy to understand, visually appealing. Gregorich and McGee include with most of the exercises a "Brain Box" in which a key term is defined. Here is a representative selection: "Letter to a Friend" Read the following letter. If a word needs an apostrophe, write it in. If an apostrophe does not belong, cross it out. (Page 35) "Drafting a Personal Essay" Using your map on page 111, write a three paragraph draft of your personal essay. Remember to: - Use the first person - Include a topic sentence in each paragraph. - Use descriptive language, vivid details, and dialogue wherever you can. - Have a strong conclusion or point that you want to get across. (112) "Writing a Fairy Tale" Think of a good idea for a fairy tale. Plan when and where your story will take place by filling out the box below. Next, think about your main character and at least one other character. (113#) "The Facts About Factors" Fill in the missing factors. Write all the possible factors for each number [that follows].
