Great Resource for Teaching Business Math
Great Graphs and Sensational Statistics really made our 6th Grade Business Math unit very fun and interesting.While charting commercials, dangling spoons, taking surveys, flipping coins and following the stock market...we learned all about how to present information in a form that others can understand.

This is very REAL math that my child can use throughout his life - whether he's a weatherman, scientist, or business administrator!We all need to learn how to present information clearly and effectively.

Oh, and some statistical work is in there - means, medians, conducting a study and charting statistical results...highly recommended!

Great book for Pre-K
My daughter loved this book in Pre-K, but the math she is doing in public school kindergarten is much more advanced.
I see a lot of posts from homeschooling moms and I'm shocked to read that their 6 year old children are only this far when it comes to math.
However as someone who was home schooled, I shouldn't be surprised.

Big and Colorful
Fun activities with big and colorful illustrations...This book covers practically everything a Kindergarten and 1st grader will learn and should know.A great supplement tool to use at home.Out of all the activity books my five year old has, this book is the only book he will pick to do on his own. I strongly recommend this book and the "100 Words Kids Need To Read By 1st Grade". I gave this product a four, b/c some of the activities lack detailed explanations.

Great for kids
My daughter , a prescholer has loved this exercises and it's the funniest way to learn math, it starts very easily and gradually goes to a difficult level. It contains some stickers, too.

Bought for my grandaughter
My grandaughter was homeschooled for Kindergarten but will start first grade soon.She LOVED working in this book.It helped her acquire the foundation for many basic skills.

Colorful and Fun Workbook
I agree with the previous reviewer.We are homeschooling this year and I have bought a number of workbooks for my daughter.This is the most eye-catching of them all.

My daughter considers this book fun and I agree with her.It is well written and thought out. The graphics are highly appealling.My child is excited by this wookbook and the new words she is learning to read and write. ... Read more
