Kindergarten Jumbo Math Success Workbook: Activities, Exercises, and Tips to Help You Catch Up, Keep Up, and Get Ahead

Get one and you won't regret! My kids love it.

Great book

Great book!

Lots of pros to this workbook! Bright pages, fun activities, and a good start to math basics for young children. And perhaps the most important... my daughter really enjoyed doing it and didn't see it as work at all.The one major con? This was way too easy for my daughter who is going into Kindergarten this fall. While my daughter is bright, she is nothing exceptional yet she finished this entire book in 6 weeks, and it's not as if her pre-K program was this fantastic, advanced program or anything. There is a TON of activities related to shapes.... literally half the book in different ways such as shape sets, shape sorting, shape patterns, 3D objects, etc. They also cover counting to 5, counting to 10, patterns (pictures, shapes, numbers), same/different, ordinal numbers, sorting (including Venn diagrams... very cool!), location words, measurement (length, weight, volume), and basic maps. All great, but no numbers to 20, no introduction to addition and subtraction concepts, and even with all of that material on shapes, nothing beyond square, rectangle, triangle, and circle.... all things that I know are covered in my kids' (common core) Kindergarten curriculum. While it was OK for our needs to have some math basics to prep for Kindergarten, I can't imagine this being used as a review after Kindergarten has already been completed.

I purchased both Basic Math Success and Super Math Success to use with my homeschool kindergarten curriculum. The activities in Kindergarten Basic Math Success were designed to help children catch up, keep up, and get ahead in basic math skills. From Sylvan Learning, the 128-page full-color workbook includes sections on numbers; sorting, classification, and patterns; geometry; and measurement. The workbook was designed to be completed one page a day, but my daughter typically completed larger chunks as review. However, I did not realized that Kindergarten Super Math Success, which I also purchased to supplement our lessons, included the full Basic Math Success. Super Math Success also includes games, puzzles, and additional shapes and geometry. I suggest purchasing only the Super Math Success to avoid duplication of material.
