Kumon Grade 2 Subtraction (Kumon Math Workbooks), Ages 7-8, 96 pages

This book is very good for learning math it is fun and efficient my child enjoyed doing the math and learned a lot

Summary: A great resource to help teach your kids subtraction, but it's strictly a book of exercises, drills, etc. No replacement for one on one teaching.We have our first grader working on this - she does one page each night along with her regular homework. The first dozen or so pages were subtraction review. Then it starts to get tougher. For example, 43-17 = 26 where you have to carry the tens. She was having some trouble, but after slowly walking her through a few problems she picked it up right away.In terms of skill level it's fairly well correlated to what the public schools target as the grade level outcomes - this is clearly a year advanced of what her school is teaching at first grade level, but a half year head start can't be bad and it certainly wasn't beyond her capabilities.The repetitive nature of the exercises in this book really helps. We highly recommend it!If you've found this review helpful or have questions/comments, please let us know!

I purchased all three books on 2nd grade math (Addition, Subtraction and Word Problems) for my daughter when she was at her summer break before entering 2nd grade. We practiced almost every day and by the time she started her classes at school she knew how to add and subtract 3-digit numbers with confidence. These work books are excellent alternative to expensive Kumon classes. It's mid October and we are almost done with the second grade Addition, Subtraction and Word Problems. She scored above average at her school as a result whereas before she couldn't add even 1-digit numbers without using her fingers. I'm very satisfied with her progress within such a short period of time. Will continue buying these books.Highly recommended!

Old style school ..I recommend it for my kids for ever

True to the size, excellent product description, fast shipping, Works well.

i bought it for my son who needed some additional work on subtraction and addition..we do 2 pages every night besides the regular home work..of course at first he didn't want to do anything but then got used to it and better.. AND the best thing: just before christmas he came home from school with a certificate saying "MOST IMPROVED IN MATH"!!! i can only say its because of this!!! we are a little ahead of the other kids now as he came home one day and said "mummy we just started the 3 digit subtraction in school - but i already know how this works because of the books!".. and so we were ahead almost 6 weeks from the other kids..i will buy more in the future, they are great workbooks and the kids will love them!!

My 7 yo daughter is more confident doing subtraction at school after starting this workbook. It helps her concentrate better while doing math homework. At first, she could only do 3 problems at a time without looking around and getting up from her chair. The more she works on this book, the longer she's able to concentrate and the more problems she's able to finish. It's like she's figuring how to do it faster in her own ways without me nagging her.

We started out using Grade 2 material as the actual Kumon program measures and takes a similar approach. It ensures the child has full mastery of the basics. Our son motored through this quickly though given it is self paced. In the course of a year he has moved from Grade 2 to Grade 5. It is a great way to enhance your child's learning.

Just as described, keeps kids engaged. has answers at the back to help if you get confused.

Very useful book. My daughter now 6 and a half enjoys practicing on it nearly daily. On her own. Highly recommend it!

I got this book for my 7yo twin daughters who are in Year 2. Overall this book matches their abilities quite well. As all KUMON books this one is rather repetitive -- 30-40 similar problems per page. On the other hand, if your child can cope with this you can expect marked improvement in their mathematical skills by the time the book is finished.The essential part is to start early, so you child(ren) get used to idea of doing one set of problems per day. I started giving them books from KUMON since they turned 4, so by now doing homework is part of their life. Definitely it is worth offering some kind of reward once the book is completed.So, if your child can managed routine work for building the skills I definitely recommend this book.

Recomendo para crianças em regime de educação domiciliar e também para as crianças que frequentam escolas (públicas ou privadas), uma vez que, por influência dos iluminados do MEC, a matemática já não é tão exata assim, sendo necessário explicá-la levando-se em consideração uma visão geral do mundo e das práticas sociais. :( (Se professores competentes não entendem, imaginem os alunos).AJUDEM VOSSOS FILHOS!Obs.: O fato de estar em inglês não dificulta em nada o aprendizado pois o método é intuitivo. Um dicionário simples inglês - Português é o suficiente.

Ma bisogna sapere usare il metodo. Io forse sconsiglierei il fai da te. Li ho acquistati, ma da genitore è davvero difficile costringere alla costanza su un libro i propri figli. E i risultati, passati i primi semplicissimi livelli, iniziano a mancare. E così lo stimolo ad investire 15-20 minuti tra lavoro e correzione.Poi dipende a che grado di scuola si trova il ragazzo e quanto tempo ha a disposizione, oltre alla sua disponibilità a lavorare su se stesso oltre al lavoro imposto dalla scuola.Sicuramente l'attività quotidiana permette l'emergere di schemi e trucchi di calcolo personali che alle volte se imposti non vengono interiorizzati.
