Kumon Grade 1 Addition (Calculation Math Workbooks), Ages 6-7, 96 pages (Kumon Math Workbooks)

I've been using these books with my 3 and 5 year old for a little over a month now and I love them. This addition book was for my 5 year old. This is above her grade level but I like to push her and this predicable study curriculum and routine has made it easy. We do 2 pages of Addition and 2 pages of Reading most every night. I can't say that my 5 year old enjoys it but she's 5. She doesn't like any work. I encourage her and let her know that smart people don't wake up smart, they earn it and "Hard work works hard when talent doesn't work." Although, it's like pulling teeth to get her through this book, she has learned the number line to get the answers on her own, what to do when she goes beyond her fingers counting, number patterns, she puts the date on every page, and her name writing is the best it's ever been. I kinda wish that the problems were vertical rather than horizontal but I trust the curriculum and I know teaching her this first has a purpose.I heard about Kumon first from a parent who goes to private school with my 5 year old. I went to the Kumon location and had both the kids tested and priced. It was going to be roughly $430 per month for college students to teach my kids 1 subject each (either Reading or Math) twice a week. As usual, I consulted Amazon and found that I could purchase all the books for less than the price of 1 month of what that tutor was going to charge me. Plus, while the tutor teaches the children, I would have to be there too but I couldn't interact with the instruction. I'd have to be in the lobby. That seemed to me like a huge cost to be lazy and not do it myself.The effectiveness of these books has been paramount! It's only been 1 month but my 3 year old who is left handed is now writing her name with unprecedented accuracy. She did the entire "My Book of Amazing Tracing" and has now started on the "My First Book Of Uppercase Letters." She actually does enjoy the books. I plan to continue and finish all the books with both of my children.

This was a perfect supplement for extra math help. It was easy to understand- taught the appropriate math criteria for grade, and was helpful in building confidence.

I always recommend Kumon workbooks to my friends.My eldest daughter was in Kumon for 1.5 years and I realized all they do is workbooks , so rather than paying $340 per month, I took her out of Kumon and purchased the works books to do together on the weekends.I continue to purchase these workbooks for both my eldest and youngest daughters.

I ordered Kumon Maths workbooks for my kids and they are doing it during summer break. They like these workbooks very much. They are enjoying it specially my son always like the part that counts point in the end.

My daughter likes this book. It’s help her better understanding of maths
