3.0 out of 5 stars Audio CD is TOO Fast!, June 28, 2007

By

This review is from: Hooked on Math (Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division) (Hardcover)

I am a big fan of the Hooked on Phonics program. The audio cd's were just at the right speed for a child just learning to read. The workbook was wonderful. The sticker chart makes it exciting for my son to see what he have accomplished. It is a must for beginning readers.

Unfortunately, I can't say I am as impressed with the Hooked on Math program. The Audio CD is TOO fast that I don't even use them anymore.

The program includes flashcards, sticker chart, workbook and several other items to help your child visualize addition, subtraction etc. Overall, it's an okay program. Unless, you have a child who have a photographic memory expect not to use the Audio Cd.

3.0 out of 5 stars Moves too quickly; not systematic enough, August 8, 2010

By 

Skylar Hamilton Burris "Skylar" (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hooked on Math (Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division) (Hardcover)

So far, I can only comment on the FIRST (yellow) LEVEL of this program (addition and subtraction). Hooked on Math is useful practice, but it's not a good systematic way to learn math facts. Hooked on Phonics IS a systematic way to learn to read, so I was disappointed that there seemed to be less clear order and building-block process here. It would be better to have more practice, with more opportunity to master the addition and subtraction facts one by one. For instance: learning plus zero, followed by plus one, followed by doubles, followed by doubles plus one, etc. with plenty of practice. This set doesn't really work that way. It moves too quickly; there are too many problems on the worksheets for a single lesson, and yet there's not enough overall practice. The CD is very annoying, and my daughter could not tolerate it. The games in the workbook are repetitive, though my daughter did enjoy playing them. More variety in the game area would have been nice.

My daughter enjoys doing Hooked on Math because she enjoys the idea of rewards: a sticker on the workbook, a chance to play a game at the end of it all. But for really TEACHING, for really systematically learning and maintaining the information, Saxon Math workbooks work much better. I'd recommend purchasing the Saxon Math workbooks (Saxon Mat I part one and two for addition/subtraction mastery) for a more incremental approach that leads to greater mastery. These workbooks can generally be found separately for around $15 each, but make sure you are getting the workbooks and not the meeting books or textbooks.

On the other hand, if your student picks things up VERY quickly, and doesn't generally require review to gain mastery, Hooked on Math will be a sufficient approach.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hooked on Math Deluxe Edition- Excellent Product, April 6, 2008

By 

H. Pate - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hooked on Math (Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division) (Hardcover)

I definitely recommend the deluxe edition of Hooked on Math. My child took to it immediately. There are fun games to enjoy as they progress and the information is taught in a way so they don't forget what they've learned. Fork up the dough. It's worth it! :)
