Strengthen Core Math Skills

It was a gift for my daughter

Good

I came across this workbook while looking for such a book for my grandkids. I have used other workbooks from this publisher, regardless of grade level. They seem to like them. The workbook has advanced problems for addition, subtraction, multiplication, long division, fractions, and decimals. But the best thing about the workbook is the following: 1. It has over 2,500 problems. 2. It has 13 levels. 3. It comes with an answer key. In addition, I found free and printable worksheets for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fraction, exponentiation on the Beestar website for extra practice with multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. Check out the other workbooks from this publisher!

I can write a so called "advanced math workbook" and charge for it. However, I would do it diligently. This book fails at 1. operation signs such as multiplications (x) or additions (+) and so on are written either to the far left of the numbers or, as they should, in the direction of reading. The first option is WRONG. 3 x 2 versus 3x2. This creates confusion in the little ones. The smart adult charging money should follow the logical way of math, whic is, operations are written after the numbers from LEFT TO RIGHT. It is even more confusing for left handed-kids. 2. to make even more money, they put the answers key on a few pages at the end of the book in a crowded manner making it difficult, without spending hours in frustration, to check the answers. I might as well retype the numbers in a calculator and check the answers. 3. exercises are not creative for advanced math. These are basic school exercises. Restroom material. FLUSH!
