I'm using this book with my homeschooled 5th grader that doesn't enjoy math but is actually very good at it. She's really enjoying this book, much more than she enjoys her text book. It's also helping me to identify clearly what her strengths and weaknesses are. We're doing it all orally. I think the grade range of 4-8 is pretty accurate. My daughter is right at grade level and we are within the book just where they suggest for a 5th grader.

I taught el ed for 32 years. Mental Math is not done often enough. It truly gives a child "Math Sense". I lost this book and had to purchase another. Thank goodness i could still get it! I have lent it to parents and other teachers. There are 5 short lessons per week and as they gradually get harder, you can use as review or teaching tool. There are numbered weekly sheets to run off for students to put their answers on and there are answers in the back of the book. A must have skill, a must have book!
