2.0 out of 5 stars Something Missing..., March 30, 2005

By 

Linda C. (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Math Made Easy: Third Grade Workbook (Math Made Easy) (Paperback)

I recently purchased this workbook and was generally pleased --until my third grader began to practice her multiplication tables. We were both very disappointed to learn there were no worksheets for times tables for the 6's, 7's, 8's and 9's. I couldn't figure out why they would be omitted. There were worksheets for the 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's and 10's. I was quite surprised and felt that rendered this book incomplete. I had to purchase yet another workbook with a complete set of worksheets, but this time I went to a bookstore so I could inspect the entire book to ensure it was complete.

5.0 out of 5 stars master the fundamentals with this book, October 23, 2004

By 

Heather Wang (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This book is what you expect from DK. Solid drills with clear and concise reviews on all 3rd grade topics. Answer keys are complete and easy to lookup. Nice stickers and high quality printing. The problems are not difficult. Its goal is to make your child master the fundamentals, not just know them.

An effective way to achieve mastery is to time the drills. I recommend you set a clock for your child and let him experience the real test feeling and get rid of procrastination. There is a nice website Beestar.org that provides free daily timed math exercises you can use to compare your child's speed with others. My son's math skills (include speed) improved significantly with this book. I'm glad I bought it.
