Kumon Word Problems-Grades 6-8 (Kumon Middle School Math Workbooks) (Kumon Math Workbooks)

Highl recommended for kids needing extra practice or those who want a challenge. It is very easy to follow and made a difference in schol performance

Workbook I and Workbook II are included in this 192 page book. Be mindful that the answer key for the first book is right in the middle of the book! currently page 88. Then book II follows. The problems are in increasing difficulty with the skill displayed in bold at the top of the page, there are also hints at the bottom of the page on some of the newer or more difficult tasks. This is not a textbook, it is a workbook, totally worth the money. Don't rush through it and success is sure to be achieved!

Great worked book tobuae for child development.

Builds up knowledge and is right about in the middle for how hard it should be.

My daughter has really improved in math using these books. She always struggled with word problems. So a lil one on one after work/school with her and she has started to gain the confidence she needed to make her improvements. This isn't a "miracle" that's just give to your child and it good. you'll have to invest time with your child and help them, but I promise they will improve and gain confidence.

Brother needed it, came fast, and in perfect condition

good

Almost every single word problem is in metric units!! This book is almost completely useless. Even the speed problems avoid miles per hour like a bad penny. Why should you care? This defeats two important reasons for using word problems. First, they are supposed to be apply their worldly knowledge to help understand and therefore organize and solve the problem. Second, students are supposed to ask if their answers are reasonable.

Given the fact that students no longer have textbooks, parents are frequently unable to help their kids at home. This book looks at problem solving with regards to comprehension and math skills.It provides written math problems that can be solved upon comprehending the actual written paragraph. Should the student not understand the problem, it is easy for the parent to work with him.At times, students need additional help. This is a chance for parents to reinforce what they are learning in school.

Excelente

Worth to buy for year6-8, practice at home and learn to concentrate on questions

Very good material for my son who is going to be in year 7. The delivery was super fast.

Some reviews mentioned that these are impractical problems i.e. not application-based, Yes, that is true to an extent. However, that is not the reason you should buy this book. The idea is to help the student think out a solution instead of blindly applying a formula, plugging in the values and spitting out an answer. It is a great tool for cultivating thinking-based problem solving. It also teaches that there is more than one way to arrive at the solution. When I say "teach", I don't mean that the book shows you how to solve the problem. This book is not a textbook for teaching or learning. It is for applying your knowledge (gained in class, home school, tutor groups, etc.) and figuring out how to solve the problem. The answer key is provided, but not the method used to arrive at the solution. This is the reason why I bought it - you are forced to think out the answer; there may be more than one way to get the answer and the answer key only serves the purpose of giving the answer and not doing the thinking for you!If that is something you are looking for - you should definitely buy this book!
