What a well-designed series of math workbooks! Not only does it provide additional math practice, but it also makes it easy for parents to assess and diagnose which areas their child may be struggling. Each workbook provides 180 days worth of practice (one page per school day). Problems are correlated to NCTM standards. Each workbook page contains one problem per math concept and always in the same order. For example, the Grade 2 book covers 8 math concepts: Number Sense, Addition, Subtraction, Algebraic Thinking, Geometry, Measurement, Data Analysis, and Word/Logic Problem or Mathematical Reasoning. For this grade, Question #1 will always practice Number Sense, Question #2 will always practice Addition, and so on. Consequently, it is simply a matter of grading (answer key included) and charting progress to notice that perhaps your child has excellent Algebraic Thinking skills but struggles with Geometry concepts. Each workbook also includes either a CD or online download information for all the student pages and teacher assessment charts in electronic format, a handy feature for subsequent or multiple students. 208 pgs. ~ Anh
