Customer Reviews

Waste of money

The book was 85% completed. I didn't return it because the return process cost more than the actual book.

Five Stars For The Color By Number And Three For The Dot To Dot

Though Kumon calls this book Number Games it is basically a set of 38 dot to dot pictures and 38 color by number pictures that reveal a hidden picture when completed correctly. The book alternates between the two types of activities and they become increasingly more difficult as the student works their way through the book. I especially like the color by number pictures as they reinforce color words as well as number recognition and following direction skills. However for some reason the authors refer to pink as "carnation pink" and distinguish between such colors as red violet and purple violet which could be confusing if the child's crayon box calls these colors by different names. There are small finished examples (in color) of what both types of pictures should look like when done according to the directions at the back so the child can self check if they like. All in all a fun activity book.

Number games

Kumon is quickly becoming a family favorite. My 3 year old love puzzles and the Kumon workbooks are easy to follow, give direction to parents, and make it easy to get the next book in your child's progression.

Another great Kumon book!

My 6 year old son loves this book. I also love it because while he has fun he is reviewing his numbers.

Great for First Graders

I love to use these Kumon workbooks with my First Graders. They love them too. Each page has too sides. One side is a challenging connect the dot with great images. The connect the dots are great for developing numeracy skills. Usually connect the dots are so obvious that it doesn't really challenge the kids' numeracy skills but not with these. They really have to think about which number comes next since they don't usually know what the picture is. It is also really useful for developing fine motor skills. The back of the page is a picture that is revealed by the children coloring numbered boxes with a particular color. In other words they will color all the 71's violet-blue, all the 73's midnight blue. As the color a picture emerges. The kids are always thrilled to tell me what the picture is. As you can imagine, these coloring activities are great for teaching numbers and colors.

six year old loves it!

My six year old received this for xmas and loves it! He definitely has always enjoyed dot to dot and color by number, so this book is a hit with him. The Kumon workbooks really are great quality books, and I would recommend them highly!
