Kumon Grade 4 Division (Kumon Math Workbooks)

My son usually spend s~ 30 min for homework and study each day. one worksheet of language.. and one or two worksheets of math.. This 80-page book has division, just pure division. Yes, the title is Division, so I should have known. Gradual level single digit.. then double digit.. then three digit.. I think it's important to practice simple calculation (+ - x /) repeatedly for speedy skill, but for a little boy, I felt like it's too much. This might be my last kumon book for my son.

Kumon makes pretty good workbooks, and this one is really good for kids who need a little extra practice - and good reviewing for the summer. My daughter does a page every other day this summer so that she doesn't forget her division and multiplication (there are some multiplication problems in here, too!). It starts off pretty simple and goes on to problems with more steps to take. With practice like this, your kids will thank you later!

There should be more instruction on how to do the problems. My daughter ended 3rd grade struggling with division so I thought this would be a good way to improve over the summer. I was hoping it would have more directions/instruction on how to complete the problems, but there isn't any. I've had to teach my daughter how to do long division which I was a bit rusty at and not sure if it's up to sniff with the new common core way of division. She is getting good practice and I guess so am I.

Kumon’s strategy is pure repetition-so after a brief review of addition/subtraction the bulk of the book is pure division. 20 problems per page, page after page. My child needs practice so it works ok-but he did get frustrated with the repetition. I also wish there was a little more room between problems on the long division pages so he could work without bleeding into the next problem.

Every summer I buy workbooks for my two boys. This year I chose Kumon, I purchase the whole collection of Grade 4 for my son going into 4th grade and the whole collection of Grade 3 (thinking Grade 2 would be too easy) for my son going into 2nd grade. Later on I found that my younger son had difficulties in some areas in Grade 3 so I bought Grade 2. This has been a great guidance for my kids and I. The books helped my kids learn step by step and I really do see improvements. Its great for me, I simply use the answer sheet to correct and it helps me find out what their weaknesses are. Overall I really like Kumon workbooks compare to previous companies that I have purchased because I do see improvements. Next year I will purchase Kumon again.
