Customer Reviews

fun and educational

My son's Kindergarten teacher recommended this book for my son who loves math, reading and coloring. The books includes math questions that the children solve by coloring pictures. He has a lot of fun and feels smart using the book. The best part for him is that it includes K-3 problems, so he goes from the "easier" ones to the challenging pages at his own pace.

visual reinforcement is important

My 15-year old son is autistic and has severe language processing deficits. He has a normal IQ and can learn visually - for example, he is at the 7th grade level in math mechanics, but is still at the 1st - 2nd grade level in word problems. He can read the words, but doesn't comprehend them. He is learning to recognize "key words" to clue him in that he should add, or subtract, or multiply/divide. This workbook has our son draw his own pictures along with the word problem so that he can develop an understanding of the exact nature of the problem along with the key words. This book was recommended by my sister, a special education teacher in the Los Angeles Unified School District. She teaches a high school class of autistic children functioning at my son's level. She recommends making several copies of each page - we should give him 4 or 5 different word problems and have him do them first with our help. We should give him these same worksheets daily until he can totally do them without our help.

Love the book

I teach 2nd Graders and have used the 2nd gr. book for several years. I find it to be a very worthwhile addition to my math curriculum. Based on the descriptions shared in other reviews it doesn't sound as if those folks got the book I have. Mine does have a chart of math concepts with page numbers of those activities. It's on page Roman numeral "v". My book also has 180 pages. Since most 2nd Graders have issues with following directions, if they even bother to read them, I find these pages to be very helpful. I stress that the drawing must happen even if a student can solve it with mental math. I like the aspect that some pages have more than one correct solution, tho' I only require a child to show one. By now I know which pages may need more explanation and certainly at the beginning of the year we work through several pages together as they learn how to do the page. I have recommended this book to my colleagues and would recommend it to anyone!

Well worth it!

I found that it was exactly what I was looking for and it came sooner than I was expecting it to come.

A great way to learn math!

My teacher uses this in our classroom to help us understand multiplication better. I love reading the problems and solving them by drawing pictures. This book is a lot of fun for everyone. Written by CEK in 2nd grade.
