Great GuidanceEvery summer I buy workbooks for my two boys. This year I chose Kumon, I purchase the whole collection of Grade 4 for my son going into 4th grade and the whole collection of Grade 3 (thinking Grade 2 would be too easy) for my son going into 2nd grade. Later on I found that my younger son had difficulties in some areas in Grade 3 so I bought Grade 2.This has been a great guidance for my kids and I. The books helped my kids learn step by step and I really do see improvements. Its great for me, I simply use the answer sheet to correct and it helps me find out what their weaknesses are. Overall I really like Kumon workbooks compare to previous companies that I have purchased because I do see improvements. Next year I will purchase Kumon again.

Great book for practicing fractions and decimalsI bought this for my son to practice fractions and decimals during the summer before heading to fourth grade. All of the lessons were very easy for him to complete. I expected it to be a little bit more challenging, but overall I liked the book. The answer key is in the back, which makes it easy and quick to check the work.

Very good work book.I was tutoring a child who was having issues with the topic. When tutoring one of the difficulties one encounters is finding examples to practice with. This book has lots of math problems to work, and after doing several different math problems of the same type, the child pick up the technique to solve the question. The book has so many math problems to work with and different types of problems from straight foward fractions, to word type problems. Oncenyou figure out where the child is having issues you find questions correlate with it and work them out. Once you do a few many children get the grasp and do well.

Fantastic Extra PracticeI love this extra math practice for my 4th grade son. It is great that I can have him work on a couple of lessons per night (in addition to his regular schoolwork) and can see for myself whether or not he is understanding the concepts. He doesn’t have a problem doing this extra math because he REALLY likes the idea that he is “working ahead” of where the class is in school.I would recommend this for children who perform best when they get plenty of repetition, children who may be behind and their parents need a book to use with them, or those who might want to work ahead of the class.

I LOVE KUMON AND ALL THEIR WORKBOOKSMy son used to get tutoring through Kumon several years ago when he was in public school. So when I was shopping for math workbooks for our homeschooling that I saw this Kumon workbook and others I grabbed it really quick. And I am really glad I did…Kumon’s way of teaching at the tutoring/learning centers has been brought to there workbooks now too! and it is awesome…They start the children off with easy work to first work on building their confidence in themselves as to their ability to do the work comfortably and then slowly work there way into higher learning…Before the child knows it he or she is working at a much higher level with the same ease…I love it!!! thanks Kumon PRAISE GOD!!!

Starts really basic for a solid foundationI really like this textbook. I used it for one of my Summer tutoring clients whom needed to go at slower pace and, needed a stronger decimal and fraction foundation to build on for the next year. It begins really basic and builds slowly. This book isn’t for children who are on the average or above average curve as they will grow bored as it will be too repetitive for them. I recommend this book as a supplement for a child struggling in this area at a one lesson a day pace then move on to Kumon Grade 5 Decimals & Fractions after completing.

It is perfect for “filling in the gaps” for my sonI have ordered all the books in the 3rd and 4th grade series…math and reading/writing. After I ordered 2 books, I was so impressed that I wanted them all. It is perfect for “filling in the gaps” for my son. He can work at his own pace and continue learning throughout the summer. We are going to continue with these books throughout the school year. I would highly recommend these books to any parent who wants to help their child make major improvements in reading and math.

Most grade-school workbooks try to cover the full range of …Most grade-school workbooks try to cover the full range of topics in one workbook, and as a result do not dedicate enough pages to important mathematical concepts. Kumon’s research has found, however, that children find learning easier when they tackle one skill set at a time. With these findings in mind, we designed our newest line of workbooks to help children with one particular mathematical skill set per book.

Good buyI bought this for my daughter when the Corona virus started. It was a great supplement for usual school work for the moment.
Ann Lamb –
Great for HomeschoolI homeschool and use these books as a main curriculum and then add DVDs and fun projects. I also print free worksheets off the internet to go with the lesson. Love them!!
LMP –
Too much “basic”For an entire book dedicated to decimals and fractions, I was expecting more than pages and pages of adding fractions with like denominators. The cover does mention this, but it was not that obvious. The book is very simplistic, and too long to just repeat the same, simple types of problems. Check out the other grades if you think your child can add with different denominators or if you want them to explore simple multiplication of fractions. The decimal lessons are also very simplistic and superficial. My 2nd grader mastered this in a few hours….

Same exercise with no progressIt was doing the same thing for the whole book.A lot of exercise is fine but I expect some progression with difficulty. But this book started with simple and end in simple. Don’t waste your money on this book

Decent for beginnersThis book is good for kids whom never worked with decimals or fractions before. I had to skip over way too many lessons to challenge him even remotely. I am now on the hunt for another fractions because the section he really needed help on wasn’t enough.

Nice books to teach and drill conceptsSo far I have liked all the Kumon books I have gotten for my son. I use them to supplement Singapore Math for homeschooling. I’ve used Grades 3 and 4. Will continue to buy…

Simple, Straightforward Instructions…I tutor an 11 year-old homeschooler and we’ve added this book to his curriculum to strengthen certain math skills not emphasized in his other math books. He loves it and finds it quite easy. The instructions are clear and not too wordy, enabling him to work more independently than with other books.

Great way to help your kidsWe use this for our 6 year old and 10 year olds and not only does this really help them learn but they also enjoy doing it. Before these books my kids struggled and now are keeping up with their classmates

We Love Kumon Math Books and have purchased many of themWe Love Kumon Math Books and have purchased many of them. This one is the first disappointment thou. Our son is in the middle of third grade so we though to get him little bit ahead with fractions. To our surprise ALL fractions examples in this book have a same DENOMINATOR. This means that instead of 4 grade fractions problems you have simply a 1st grade simple math such as 1+3, or 5-1 etc…. We don’t understand why in 4th grade fractions book there are not examples with different denominators as this is the real challenge for students. If this would be the book for 2nd graders to introduce them to fractions I would understand, but for the 4th Grade this book doesn’t present any challenge.

Kumon LoverMy son has used these books since Pre- K and I like the repetition. With this particular book he was learning fractions before decimals and having him start with fractions was challenging. The book doesn’t have a smooth transition from one to the other as with some other topics.

Excellent for mastery!We’re so glad KUMON is now publishing books for upper level math! Using these books has helped my children master these concepts. They are taught step by step, to the child. Whether you homeschool, or are in public school and need extra help mastering the concepts and math facts, these books are fabulous!

Repetitive WorksheetsThis book is a practice book. It can’t be used for teaching.It can be used as extra worksheets for kids after they have understood the concepts.I paid $7.16 for this book, I could instead just printed some free worksheetsfrom the internet. 🙁

I found the books good at laying the foundations for basic maths and EnglishI ordered the Kumon range of books to help my nine year old son in primary school. Every year his school report at the end of July is average. I’m okay with average. That was until this July, when his report was below average. On parents evening a couple of months before the report, his teacher never indicated that he was heading for a below average grades and he only has homework two night a week that lasts around 20 mins. So over the summer holidays we looked at private holiday and after school tuition, which in my area is about £300 per month. This was a bit pricey for my budget, and as this is primary school work, it is something I should be able to help him with myself. After reading some of the reviews, I purchased the Kumon range for Grade 4 (Grade 4 = Year 4) to help him catch up over summer, and Grade 5 to keep him ahead in the school year. I found the books good at laying the foundations for basic maths and English. My son finds them easy to follow and also enjoys doing them. It is October now and my son is already answering the teachers questions quicker than the ‘top table’ in his class. Overall, I am very pleased with the Kumon books and hopefully doing this extra homework should reflect in his year 5 report.

Could be better. The section on decimals is VERY tedious.The book is OK, just VERY ripetitive, especially on decimals.I bought it to help my daughter who had just been introduced to them, but this book all it offers on the subject is just hundreds and hundreds of sums and subtractions. As they point out (and it is the ONE teaching point), the key is aligning the decimal point, but1) the book doesn’t really encourage you to put numbers in column yourself and2) the concept of aligning the decimal point is mastered reasonably quickly any way.So, the first 24 sections are really ripetitive. We ended up skipping a good deal of them because incredibly tedious. After all, if you know how to do a sum you know how to do a sum :)The bit with the fractions is more interesting.As it cost me about £4.30 I can’t complain too much.

Excelente!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.
