Not bad

Most of the exercises are good but some are not printed correctly to get the correct answer, so now when working with my daughter I have to check that each task is achievable, also beware that the exercises on currency are US dollars.

Este año para el primero de primaria de mi hijo estoy haciendo HOMESCHOOLING con el por la actual situación y compré este libro para su tiempo de matemáticas. Tiene todo lo que necesitamos para su grado. Él está adelantado en matemáticas pero nos sirve de repaso y disfruta mucho las actividades que vienen. Es un libro muy bonito asi como todos los de SCHOOL Zone, que todos son excelentes. Lo recomiendo muchísimo. Trae muchas páginas y todas son a todo color. Diferentes tipos de actividades y mucho repaso de los temas para primero y segundo de primaria.

Covers EVERYTHING a kid this age needs to know and gets them ready for more advanced math

I homeschool. I do Saxon Math for the older grades, but THIS workbook is PERFECT for the advanced/older kindergartner through a kind of behind second grader. It is SUPER cute. I LOVE the fun illustrations. It covers ALL the math info a kid would need in that age range. My 8-year-old daughter is really smart. But I pulled her out of kindergarten a few years ago. And she was really stubborn with me and didn't do what I asked. She played A LOT. Some people think it's great to let kids play in that age range, anyway. So, now that I am MAKING my kids sit down and do their assignments, I have found that she doesn't know her very basic math facts, even. She is about a K-1st grade level in math. She loves this book. My son younger than her is advanced for his age and he also loves working out of this book. He is in 1st grade now. This book covers everything they need to get them ready to start working out of the "Saxon Math Intermediate, Grade 3" text book. I use the one with the picture of the bicycle on the front cover. When the child is finished with that one, then go directly into "Saxon Math 5/4." When the child is done with that book, he is ready to go straight into the "Saxon Math Algebra 1" book. Or, your smart third grader can just start right at Saxon Math 5/4. Then for 5th grade, he can do Math 8/7. THEN go right into Algebra 1 the next year.

Edit: Today is July 5th 2020. I still love these books. But I put my kids directly into the old Saxon Math 5/4 textbook when they graduate from this workbook. I also have my kids practice math facts at: w w w dot xtramath dot com.

Overall good but totally out of order.

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2020

This book is colorful and nice quality, but I cannot understand the order of this book. A third of the way through the book there are worksheets on counting money, for example one question is "get to 92 cents using the fewest number of coins possible." Then two thirds through the book, they ask you to write numbers in sequence by ones "ex., 8, 9, _, _, _,". I don't understand how it makes sense to work through this book in order, asking kids to count coins (sometimes having to carry the one when adding), learn to tell time by the quarter hour (so having to add by 5's), and doing fractions, then going backwards to basic math halfway through the book (ex., 4+0=?), then two thirds through the book doing single number sequencing and grouping by tens and ones. After flipping through the book we are doing it out of order and it's going fine now, but when we were just going through it in order it made absolutely no sense.

Very well organized, and with fun

This work book is very well organized and gives a lot of beginner level math practice. My 4 year old loved it, and just recently finished it. I wish I could find a step up Math workbook from Schoolzone. This workbook covers counting, addition (1-20), subtraction (1-20), introductory fractions, time and money, introductory multiplication, easy level word problems, introductory line graphs, pictographs, introductory concept of place value, addition and subtraction of 2 and 3 digit numbers and other introductory math. It gradually builds up the math concepts. My son loved the riddles problems. The only con I faced was in some of the pages, there were an overwhelming amount of math questions for my 4 year old, specially the addition and subtraction of 2 and 3 digit numbers. But we still made it. I understand that the later section of this book is designed for a 6-8 year old student who is in a phase of completing his/her 1st grade and beginning of his/her 2nd grade, and this section of the book would be appropriate for him/her (in a general sense). I would highly recommend this book, one of the best workbook I got for my son.

4 year old loves it

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2020

My 4 year old loves his new math book. We use it almost daily during "learning" time and it is really helping him advance his math skills and love for numbers. Pages are well written and displayed nicely, with different kinds of problem layout/activities so it doesn't get repetitive. If we're at a page where my son has not fully excelled at, I just erase what we did afterwards and go back to it the next time around until he has mastered the concept. As a former teacher, I think it's a great book and would HIGHLY recommend. His younger sister who will be 3 in a couple of months is doing the "Big Preschool" workbook that I would also recommend for that age group.
