In my elementary school years, we had to learn our multiplication tables in 1st grade. It was the old rote-and-drill method with the teacher shouting out the factors and selecting some hapless victim for the answer - some of whom were only 6 years old.Educators would probably cringe at that approach today. Standards are different now, too, with the basics of multiplication not being introduced until the last half of 3rd grade. School Zone follows that timeframe with this grades 3 - 4 workbook.There's no reason, though, that kids can't begin the easier multiplication facts of 1, 2, 5 and 10 by 2nd grade. The School Zone worksheets start with the multiplication facts of number 1 until the number 12. You can tear out the perforated sheets in the sequence that works best for your learner.The overall structure of this introductory workbook is consistent and comprehensive. Each page gives an example of the products and factor being studied, an orderly math facts exercise (1x1, 1x2, 1x3, etc.), followed by a random set of 10 problems within that series. Review pages ask the student to complete a grid or a puzzle search or a challenging number wheel to further reinforce the numbers.School Zone offers a pretty tough 60-page workout. Your young learner will be challenged to multiply 3 factors, answer story problems, complete product charts and take timed tests. The section on division follows the same format.Terrific graphics and an uncluttered layout multiplies the learning opportunties.
I was definitely disappointed by this book. The pages are mostly just straight times tables with very few activities. I also don't like that different numbers are clumped together. For example, the 6 times table and the 7 times table are on the same page, so to use it for students who haven't learned the 7 times table yet, I have to fold it in half. This book only has 30 pages, so there's just not a lot of variation in the format of the pages.
My daughter is in Saxon 3 in her home schooling. I felt she needed more direct practice. She finishes a page in about 20 minutes and it keeps her skills sharp.
Nice intro, but not as many exercises as I expected to see. The series is really good though so a good purchase nonetheless.
Goes from extremely easy to doing long division at the end. Definitely too easy to be labeled "3rd-4th" grades. Mostly good 3rd grade practice, but one star deducted for some nonsense pages that are stuck in to "align" with Common Core.
The workbook is fine. It is just a workbook, Not exceptional but there is nothing wrong with it either. I gave it an average rating for that reason.
Helps teach math while having fun. Grandson was stuggling with math, this workbook is helping him to understand math without getting frustrated.
Great learning tool. My son enjoys working in this workbook.
