5.0 out of 5 stars enjoy the activities, May 3, 2005

This review is from: Scholastic Success With Math Workbook Grade 2 (Grades 2) (Paperback)

This fun resource provides engaging practice and reinforcement for the essential math skills that kids need to command. My son enjoyed this book, especially those patterns and brain-teassing puzzles. They draw kids' curiosity and push them to apply the basic concepts learned from school.

I believe kids need more problem-solving practice to master math skills. In addition to this book, we use the free weekly math tests at Beestar (www.beestar.org). This nice web site provides similar practice in standard test format. With such exercises, my son not only feels good about math, but also gets top scores in school. I'm happy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great resource for teachers, not really for homeschool, July 7, 2009

I bought a number of workbooks from several series for my children to work with over the summer. DK workbooks (which were inferior in every way and I returned all 4), the Complete Book series, the Scholastic Success series (which are really intended for in-school supplementation but were okay for use over the summer), and the Spectrum series. The Spectrum and Complete Book Of series were superior in every way to the other workbooks and I will order from them again next summer.

Because this book is targeted at teachers, the material is of that busy-work style: brainteasers, do simple math and answer the riddle, etc. It does not follow a clear order for advancing or teaching. It's more practice-oriented. It is perfect for summer supplementation or in-school enrichment, but would not be a good choice for a homeschooler.

The pages are black and white -- good for photocopying, but could be boring.

If you are looking for some straight forward practice with 2nd grade math skills, this is not the right book. Most of these activities require more than one step, for example: solve the addition problem then use the answer to plot a point on the graph. This book is not at the beginner's level, but is fine for students who need a challenge.
