5.0 out of 5 stars Great Preparation and Ongoing Training Tool, August 2, 2005

By	Antonio M. Daniels - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This product is a great tool for the rising fourth grader who needs constant assistance with mathematical deficiencies. This book provides explanations and practice for all of the elements of the curriculum that a fourth grader will encounter. It is extremely hard for me to give any product the highest rating possible; however, this product deserves the highest rating possible.

4.0 out of 5 stars overall good - my 3rd grader used it, December 27, 2004

By	Cindy Liu (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This book gives concise reviews for grade 4 math topics and provides many worksheets. A solid workbook worth the price.
It intends to practice the fundamental skills, hence the repeating similar problems. This book does not have standard test problems. A drawback. My child uses free weekly math drills from Beestar (http://www.beestar.org) as a supplement for more challenging standard test problems.

As pointed out by an earlier review, my 3rd grader can use it without a problem. So your 4th grader may find it easy. But overall, this is a solid workbook. I still recommend it.
