This review is from: Spectrum Math, Grade 8 (Paperback)

I bought this book for a young man that I tutor. He needed help getting up to speed when entering the eighth grade, I bought the eighth grade book because he goes to a traditional school that advances faster than most. It was pretty helpful and did it's job. I wouldn't recommend doing everything in every part. Some of the chapters are really long. I try and do two chapters a week. some of the chapters get to long and I can only do one a week. I did not like the chapter on the Metric System, the chart they had at the top was confusing, so I had to print my own chart. If your looking for something to catch up or to try and get ahead in math I would certainly recommend this product. (Just a FYI the Science was not that good)

The new Spectrum Math books are an improvement over the older editions. They are more colorful and the print to the answer keys are larger. These workbooks give plenty of math problems for practice and include word problems as well. I also like the fact that they can actually be completed in less than a year, giving the child a sense of accomplishment.
