I have always liked spectrum for math. This book does not disappoint. I purchased this for my daughter who just completed 1st grade. She is working on one page per day over summer. I want her to have daily math practice and retain what she has learned this school year. I like how the sections are separated and that there is review throughout. There is a pretest and post test for each chapter. The lessons in between the pretest and post test all have teaching instructions clearly written and explained with examples. There is an answer sheet for parents as well as a scoring guideline to record the tests. This book is perfect for my daughters needs. It shipped quickly and in perfect condition. I am quite pleased.
As a certified math teacher, working as a tutor for a homeschooled family, I honestly wasn't thrilled by the idea that this adheres to common core standards, but the selection of topics I grade appropriate and I can vary the pacing as the student requires.
This summer went by very quickly. My concern before summer vacation starts for my kids is the lack math lessons they usually get at school.I searched for a math workbook on and found this book. I read all the reviews and evaluated the price based on the review and bought this one. It's a great book but it seems very advanced for a 6th grader that is getting ready for 7th grade. If it's a workbook for a parent to use to teach, then it's on the level of problems are on the mark. If it's a workbook for independent work, the needs to be more instructions.
My son does not enjoy working on this book, but I think the content is good. it provides a good number of problems so that he gets plenty of practice through repetition, but at the same it mixes it up with varying types of problems at appropriate intervals so that it does not become too monotonous.
It's a good book for practice. I bought it for my son entering into second grade to practice during summer. It has helped him revise what he learned in 1st grade and introduced new concepts too. I am not sure if it covers everything from 2nd grade though.
I buy these each summer for my kids - works great. Keep them thinking over the summer.
I am always pleased with the Spectrum resources that I purchase. They are excellent supplemental resources that my children do not balk at.
Great summer activity book for our kids to work on while out of school...keeps the kids on task to prepare for the upcoming school years
