My daughter just finished this workbook.You may use division or algebra equation to solve some of the questions in this workbook, but you definitely can use very simple arithmetic methods as well. I think first graders or even kindergarteners may be able to solve most of the problems independently, but some of the problems in this workbook may need parent's help or hint. Overall, my daughter enjoyed this workbook, which is tasteful, interesting and challenging. I highly recommend it, rating it 5 stars, although there is one printing mistake on page 28, line 14: the first coin should be 5 cents instead of 1 cent. However, parents may not need to change this 1 cent because this printing error may make the question more challenging. If parents don't want to change this error, the answer will be 49 cents instead of 53 cents. I hope the publisher will notice this error.

I am a first grade teacher who was looking for a math book to supplement for my "high" /"gifted" students in math. In my opinion this book is not exactly a "Gifted and Talented" Math book. Some of the pages take deeper thinking however, my average first graders could complete these pages with ease. It is a nice supplement book to a math program because it covers all the basic standards however, I wouldn't depend on it to challenge your "high" and "gifted" students.

I liked this book a lot for my 6.5 yo. It helps her apply what she has learn in school. She definitely had a challenge, which she desperately needed. Be prepared to sit down and help him/her reason things out because it is different than the drill of adding and subtraction learned at school. I recommend it!
