The description for this workbook was rather vague, but this is nothing more that a collection of worksheets, offering no direction. There are NO instructions included with the pages. It is important that anyone considering this workbook know that it will only provide practice, which is fine, but I could have printed any number of worksheets off of the internet for free for practice. Disappointing, considering it was Sylvan. Bottom line - it is a good collection of worksheets, but the description needs to be clearer as to what's inside the book so the buyer can make more informed choices.
My children love these workbooks. They beg to do these workbooks. The pages are very engaging and colorful. The games, riddles, jokes, and puzzles make math a lot of fun. In the first third of the book there are brief explinations on how to do the problems (a little teaching/explaining, but not much). Plus, they are a good size workbook for a good price. We bought our first set at Costco to get ahead for the next year (awesome summer practice!) and have since used them for homeschooling while moving (bought on ). Highly, highly recommend!
My daughter has not been a fan of math- to put it mildly. I decided to try this workbook as our homeschool curriculum this year since it looked a bit different then all of our previous workbooks. So far, I am really happy with this and so is she! I like that I can choose to have her do one page of each coordinating section and the math puzzles and life applying math examples make it more relevant as well as fun. I think we found the perfect curriculum for her this year!
The activity range for different levels of difficulty are great and serve many purposes, from the very basic 5th grade level problems to advanced 5th grade/ 6th grade problems.The answer key however was not as easy to follow as other books we are using.
I bought this book for my Son for summer school and he loves it. It's easy and self taught. My son spends lots of time and seems to enjoy learning this way.... Homeschool may be better for my son .... My son has even talked with me about it. ADHD plays a major role in helping to determine if this type of education is a better learning activity then school. This will offer my son the ability to get away from the bulling because he's so hyper and difficult at times because he's board.
Works wonders for my asd/adhd son. It's pages are simple and clear, easy to focus on and understand. If you need something with a lot of direction this isn't it. But it does have some basic instructions in each new section. We love it.
I have used this with older students that have disabilities that are often not exposed to a wide range of math skills beyond basic counting, calculations, basic clock reading, and basic money skills. This whole series is an amazing tool to help them get the spectrum of math skills with a beautifully colorful presentation and an absolutely elegant progression of exercises meant to train any students' mind to gain all the math skills at a conceptual level. The kids love it! kids working with other materials beg and pester me to have a Sylvan Book. Students don't want to go out and do other activities because they so enjoy working with their math book! I recommend this book for any person learning this level of math.
We just received this book two days ago. I purchased it to use as a workbook for my daughter's home school math course. It seems to be a clear way to breakdown math problems so she can understand them. She commented that she enjoys doing the work in this book versus math work from other math workbook sources. To me that is what gave this book 5 stars, it is rare that she will comment on liking any kind of school work.
