Kumon Grade 1 Addition (Calculation Math Workbooks), Ages 6-7, 96 pages (Kumon Math Workbooks)

I like Kumon 1st grade writing book more than addition or subtraction book, because addition book seems a little bit too easy for first graders. A lot of additions they already have been taught in the kindergarten, but it’s still good for them to practice as extra homework and they think it’s easy to finish.

Teaching algebra II, algebra, prealgebra, and multiple levels of elementary math. These are my basic go to pattern recognition books for all beginning math students! They make math fun, simple, and easy. Will always buy to support early math learners so the older ones have the basics in place.

I've used these Kumon worksheets with good success with my kids. They are fabulous for helping to keep a fast learner moving forward in mastering math skills and practicing them so they become expert at applying the knowledge. I have also used them with my learning disabled child to help him review skills and refresh his memory. These are a great summer learning resource!

this unlike singapore styles is just lots of math problems. less emphasis on word or visual problems. I prefer this method to be honest as practice makes perfect in math I believe. visual and word problems should be started later in 3-5 grade to add variety and challenge. with the advent of ipad apps that can randomly test similar such problems (math board solid paid app, mental math solid free one), my kid is much more engaged and I can take practice anywhere with me. such static workbooks are less and less useful. i do like though how kumon does math groupings (adding 0 or 1 to every number so kids see the concept of adding 0 or 1). my friends use kumon tutoring classes and say wonderful things about it. worth considering i believe if you think your kid needs a boost and you can't offer it at home.

For what it is, this book is pretty great. But for my son, a few things made it difficult to use. My son is 3 and hyperlexic, and he’s already doing addition and subtraction. I wanted to get him something to encourage his love of math and numbers. This would’ve been perfect except for two things: 1) Numbered math problems. Seeing a number before the math problem made it seem like it was part of the math problem. He kept trying to figure out what he was supposed to do with that first number. For beginners, this could be a problem. 2) Small space for answers. I understand this book is for older kids. My son doesn’t have the same motor skills as a 6-year-old and writing the answers in such a small space was difficult.
