Book Reviews of Primary Grade Challenge Math
Book Review: Adding the music to math...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic tool for getting primary kids excited about math. My "mathletes" love the characters and fun problems.Book Review: Fun,challenging
Summary: 5 Stars
I think this is fun and challenging.While kids like me have fun we also get challenged and we learn something.Book Review: Warning for those living outside the US of A
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great book. It has lots of word problems and the strategies to solve them rather than just learning by rote.
However, those living outside the USA should be aware that many examples in this book use inches, feet and miles for distance and pounds and ounces for weight, with the metric system been treated as a special subject. So the weighting of questions for a metric country is the wrong way around.
Money problems are of course in dollars and cents which is not a problem for most countries using a decimal currency. However, the references to nickels, dimes and quarters might throw some kids (in Australia we have 5, 10, 20 and 50 cent pieces, with no colloquialisms for them).
Book Review: well organized
Summary: 4 Stars
I like how well organized this book is. It does a great job of explaining math concepts step by step. Great for a classroom or enrichment at home.
