I purchased this book to supplement my daughter's studies. It is an excellent workbook. The questions involved 2-3 steps of calculations. They require careful reading and thinking skills. The only reason I give 4 starts and not 5 stars is that I think there could be more than 70 problems in this price. May be at least 100. The full blank page is probably not required to do the work. I am not really sure why Singapore workbooks have a level/grade both listed on top when level x is always Grade x-1. They could make it same to avoid any confusion.

I teach 4th grade and am always looking for higher level questions for my students. I think these word problems are a good tool.

We test our home schooled kids each year, and one area of weakness was math word problems. To address this we purchased a Singapore Math primer book and this Word Problem book. At first, they struggled with the problems, but after several weeks, their skills have improved significantly. We're also seeing an improvement in the way they analyze other problems. The extra emphasis on works problems has been beneficial, and this workbook deserves much of the credit. The workbook emphasizes Singapore Math, but we use MathUSee at home. The touch of Singapore Math has been a good supplement.
