Very good for starting grade 4. My son is pretty good in math even though he really doesn't like it. He's entering grade 4 this year and I feel the school he attended in third grade wasn't teaching him well in math at all. I started this summer with him in the Kumon grade book. It was good but not challenging enough for my son. I stopped that book and started this book about mid June. This book has been a good challenge for him. As previous reviewers have noted there's no examples in this book. So, be prepared to explain how and why the problems are performed. There are 10-12 problems per page. I think this is good. Not too many nor too few. This book starts with double digits being divided by single digits and progresses to 3 digits being divided by 2 digits. I like the colors of this book and the animal characters keep it warm and friendly. My son does a page in this book every day and a page in the Kumon 4 grade multiplication book most days of the week. All together he spends no more than an hour doing both, usually about 45 minutes. I like this amount of time spent on math, then he is allowed to do whatever makes him happy the rest of the day. I record his work efforts in a book so he can see what he has done. And, he gets daily treats as rewards and we use these Kumon books as motivation for bigger rewards that make him happy. That he is learning math makes me happy and Kumon has made this possible.
We're so glad KUMON is now publishing books for upper level math! Using these books has helped my children master these concepts. They are taught step by step, to the child. Whether you homeschool, or are in public school and need extra help mastering the concepts and math facts, these books are fabulous!
I have ordered all the books in the 3rd and 4th grade series...math and reading/writing. After I ordered 2 books, I was so impressed that I wanted them all. It is perfect for "filling in the gaps" for my son. He can work at his own pace and continue learning throughout the summer. We are going to continue with these books throughout the school year. I would highly recommend these books to any parent who wants to help their child make major improvements in reading and math.
Most grade-school workbooks try to cover the full range of topics in one workbook, and as a result do not dedicate enough pages to important mathematical concepts. Kumon's research has found, however, that children find learning easier when they tackle one skill set at a time. With these findings in mind, we designed our newest line of workbooks to help children with one particular mathematical skill set per book.
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!
This will not teach your child how to do division. It's just a bunch of problems on a page that your kid has to figure out on their own. It's a nice refresher, but didn't teach them anything.My daughter is going into fourth grade, so a lot of the concepts (like long division) are new to her. I had her watch videos and do lessons on Khan Academy before doing this book.
I used to have my child in Kumon but now I just do these workbooks. This is a great book to have your child practice 4th grad division and the pages are easy to grade.
We use this for our 6 year old and 10 year olds and not only does this really help them learn but they also enjoy doing it. Before these books my kids struggled and now are keeping up with their classmates
