The complete home-study program to help children practice the essential math skills they learn in school. Matches the math curriculum so your children will reach their full potential in school -- and... This description may be from another edition of this product.
These are great books that give a thorough review of topics taught in each grade level and prepare students for standardized testing. We had the 3rd grade version first which still helped my child learn 4th grade math. The books stop at grade 5, but I wish they went to higher grades.
Comment on the Whole Series
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I have to agree on lack of instructions. You are left on your own to explain the concepts or techniques to your kids. I have used the whole series from Grade 1 through Grade 5. But the standard is a bit low. Right now my 1 st grade kid is doing 4 grade Math and 3 rd grade kid is finishing 5 th grade Math. Bottom line, Gives a good foundation and lots of practice. Once we finish the 5 th grade book, we will look else where to continue. We are definitely happy with what our kids have learned from this.

I have used the Math Made Easy Workbooks beginning with their Second Grade Workbook. They have made it easy for me to teach math to my two children. The workbooks cover a variety of math topics relevant to their corresponding grade title. I wish I had known about the Math Made Easy Workbooks sooner.

In fact, these books have been compiled and tested by a team of math experts to increase your child's confidence, enjoyment and success.

There is a review of Grade 4 topics and plenty of Times Tables practice. There is also a Progress Chart with gold stars to record achievement. At the back of the book the "Answer Section with Parents' Notes" provides answers to all the activities in the book. The notes for each page also help to explain common problems and solutions are given to ensure that your child understands how and why they made errors.

Math Made Easy: Fifth Grade Workbook
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book is full of great additional practice related to our state math standards. For children who are struggling with Everyday Math and need more paractice in multiple formats, this series is "the cat's meow." Children will love the star reinforcement stickers and the progress chart which help them to track their skills. Parents and teachers will love the answer key in the rear where you can not only check work but make a record of specific errors on minatures of the actual worksheets to guide later review and practice once the worksheets have been completed or sent home. These books are a great supplemental tool. I have actually purchased several different levels and find them all well thought out and highly useful for grade appropriate math skills remediation.
