For an entire book dedicated to decimals and fractions, I was expecting more than pages and pages of adding fractions with like denominators. The cover does mention this, but it was not that obvious. The book is very simplistic, and too long to just repeat the same, simple types of problems. Check out the other grades if you think your child can add with different denominators or if you want them to explore simple multiplication of fractions. The decimal lessons are also very simplistic and superficial. My 2nd grader mastered this in a few hours....
I love this extra math practice for my 4th grade son. It is great that I can have him work on a couple of lessons per night (in addition to his regular schoolwork) and can see for myself whether or not he is understanding the concepts. He doesn't have a problem doing this extra math because he REALLY likes the idea that he is "working ahead" of where the class is in school.I would recommend this for children who perform best when they get plenty of repetition, children who may be behind and their parents need a book to use with them, or those who might want to work ahead of the class.
My son used to get tutoring through Kumon several years ago when he was in public school. So when I was shopping for math workbooks for our homeschooling that I saw this Kumon workbook and others I grabbed it really quick. And I am really glad I did...Kumon's way of teaching at the tutoring/learning centers has been brought to there workbooks now too! and it is awesome...They start the children off with easy work to first work on building their confidence in themselves as to their ability to do the work comfortably and then slowly work there way into higher learning...Before the child knows it he or she is working at a much higher level with the same ease...I love it!!! thanks Kumon PRAISE GOD!!!
This is a good supplemental workbook. Very basic and definitely not a teaching book, but rather just something to use on days when you're concentrating on review rather than teaching.
helping my 5th grader with math is a task and kumon books make it easier for me I grade the work and he's learning on his own.
I have ordered all the books in the 3rd and 4th grade series...math and reading/writing. After I ordered 2 books, I was so impressed that I wanted them all. It is perfect for "filling in the gaps" for my son. He can work at his own pace and continue learning throughout the summer. We are going to continue with these books throughout the school year. I would highly recommend these books to any parent who wants to help their child make major improvements in reading and math.
We use this for our 6 year old and 10 year olds and not only does this really help them learn but they also enjoy doing it. Before these books my kids struggled and now are keeping up with their classmates
I tutor an 11 year-old homeschooler and we've added this book to his curriculum to strengthen certain math skills not emphasized in his other math books. He loves it and finds it quite easy. The instructions are clear and not too wordy, enabling him to work more independently than with other books.
