Picked up the "Singapore Mental Math Book grade 2" at a local school supply store to re-mediate my son. Mental math is a weakness for him, so we sat down together and reviewed the material.With the aid of this "Mental Maths grade 2" book, my son has made huge leaps with mental addition and subtraction. His school uses the "Math Connects" series and Singapore is much better when it comes to teaching mental math strategies. Use this book if your child is behind with basic numeracy. The book is inexpensive, simple, and effective.
I was satisfied with this book, but it's got very little content and it only has a few concepts. I wouldn't purchase it again, but it certainly gets the point across and I do not regret the purchase.
I wouldn't recommend this book to a 2nd grader. I was disappointed and surprised due to the following reasons:- What a waste of space! The book uses large font and that is OK but nearly half of each page is blank. Only 52 very cheap quality pages of problems for $7-8. Each page has 10 problems only (e.g. one page for number - 0, another for number + 0, another for number + 1, another for number - 1 etc.)- Some strategies are questionable in terms of effectiveness of teaching MENTAL math, esp to 2nd graders. They are a little twisted and better ways exist to teach mental math (I say this after using this book for my child)- Not a single page uses any diagrams/pictures to reinforce any learning- This book wouldn't be challenging for most grade 2nd graders (my child is only in Pre-K 4 and could finish this book in less than a month, spending 20-25 mins a day, and she is barely above average in her class)This book is worth a dollar or two at the most given the number of problems alone.
There isn't enough sheets to practice. They teach the lesson and give some problems but only 1-2 sheets worth. If you want more practice, you need to create your own problems. Not really what I expected and hoped for.
I noticed my 7 year old struggles and still uses his fingers to count every addition and subtraction problem. So, I decided to try Singapore Mental Math. I really like how this lays out basic skills for mental math. It is divided into 52 lessons (one lesson or review a day). Each lesson focus on one strategy to use in basic arithmetic. It teaches the strategy, and shows the example. Each lesson has 10 practice questions. My only wish is that this had more practice pages. One for every day of the week. Or at least a couple of practice pages per week/strategy to reinforce what the children learn.
Good guidance book to teach Mental Math to my son so that he doesn't have to use his fingers to caluculate. Wish there were more excercise pages to practice.
My daughter is in 2nd grade and this book is helping so much, I highly recommend it for home use or if someone is homeschooling. I just love it
Using Singapore math for enrichment. Students are being challenge which was my goal. They love it!
