Excellent book for beginning multiplicationAs a tutor, I found that many of my older students (upper elementary and middle school, even junior high) struggle with completing simple mathematical multiplication and division problems because they never took the time to master and/or memorize the multiplication tables. My mother had me memorize the multiplication tables up to 12(times 12) by the time I was eight, and went further as I got older (I think we stopped at 20 times 12 at some point in upper elementary school). It was grueling but boy was I glad we did it because it helped me so much with math!There is a place for memorization in math and multiplication is one area for it. I have a first grader and I decided to help her understand the concept of multiplication in incremental steps while getting her to do basic memorization. I like the Kumon approach as it teaches concepts in incremental steps. The book of Simple Multiplication only goes up to 5 times 10, but is sufficient for children who are beginning to learn and understand the concept of multiplication. The exercises are structured in an incremental manner beginning with familiarity with numbers, practicing addition, practicing repeated addition, before getting the student to repeat a multiplication table out loud.A fun way to do the ‘memorization’ is by getting the child to do something physical and fun, like climbing up and down a step as he/she says it, dribbling a ball, etc. This breaks the monotony and tedium a bit. I am also using another fun learning tool to reinforce the concept of multiplication:
Twist and Shout Multiplication
Used together, these educational tools can help a child grasp the concept of multiplication and gain confidence in math!

EducationalEducational.It’s repetitive… but I belive that’s how kids able to learn though.. repetitive and practice.
Stallcup –
Feels repetitive, but great results!We are only about 1/3 of the way through this book, but I believe that it is effectively teaching my 7-year-old to memorize multiplication facts. I thought it would be more of a struggle to get him to do the work, but the repetitive and predictable nature of this mastery type approach seems to feel more comfortable to my child than a spiral method. Repeating all of multiples of 2 or all of the multiples of 3 over and over again until it feels easy seems to be working well for us. I will be buying more of these for my other homeschooled children during our break and if I notice that we need reinforcement in an area.

Good Practice for my 6 year old!!!I purchased this book and the “My Book of Multiplication” from Kumon for my 6 year old who is currently in first grade. We work out of the “Big Second Grade Workbook” and they did a wonderful job introducing multiplication. My son really enjoyed it. This book starts off kind of odd because it has simple addition problems, but I assume its laid out like this for a reason. I enjoy the Kumon Math books because my son seems to understand Math more and grasps the concept with amount of repetition and practice. (He has currently finished the Grade 2 Kumon Math and now we are working in the Kumon Math Grade 3). I look forward to beginning this book with my son next week and hopefully by June we will be able to move on to the 2nd book in this series “My Book of Multiplication.”

Only goes up to 5 times tables but still worth it.First time using a Kumon workbook and I’m impressed! Used this to teach my future 3rd grader multiplication over Summer vacation. Very easy to follow. We have been doing it for over a month and he is a master at the 1s, 2s and 3s. Simple and takes the stress out of learning new math. Looking forward to finishing this workbook and moving onto the next level.
Danielle Joeckel –
This is a great intro into multiplicationMy daughter is working on this book as I even type this review. We’ve worked on a lot of books over this summer keeping our minds right for the new school year. This is a great intro into multiplication. Easy enough for her to do on her own and comprehend the concepts, so I’ve been pleased so far. I read the reviews and this seemed like a great book to start off our multiplication journey. I don’t anticipate it will take her long to finish, and then we will move up to the next level after this book.

We love itGreat way to help them memorize the times tables. It’s working really well for my 2nd grader and she enjoys doing it. (Much more than zoom math!)
Lauren Davidson –
Great book to support school curriculumThis is a good book for my 2nd grader it helps her maintain what she has learned without seeming overwhelming. I have her do a full page front and back everyday and she has an A in her math class so far this year!

The Pessimistic Profiler –
Easy and convenientPerfect. Just what I needed to get my son introduced into multiplication. He easily picked up on the concept of repeated addition. While I wish they had more pages of addition drills, it still has been very effective. I use these books to keep him testing 1 to 2 years above his grade level for his age.
Cory Jerome –
Good ToolMy daughter was having a hard time keeping up with all the other kids in her class and her grades shown it.We wanted to put her through Kumon learning center, but it was not affordable at the time and my wife found these books on amazon. Since my daughter been working in these work books she has improved a lot and her grades have improved in school. If you have time to work with your child and looking at an affordable way to help I would recommend these work books they help.

Perfect practicePerfect practice workbook for my daughter who will be going to 3rd grade next school year. Breaks down the concept of multiplying to the simplest terms. She gets it and I’m all for it!
Sue Mulford –
She doesn’t like story problemsI was impress with t he quality of the books I ordered. I have a daughter with Down Syndrome and she loves 2nd 3rd grade math. Books are getting harder to find that she enjoys. She doesn’t like story problems. These were great. thanks

Good Supplement for Cognitively DelayedThis is a good supplement to add to a teaching arsensal for students that are cognitively delayed but due to NCLB are forced to receive the same instruction at the same pace as the other students without any benefit of remediation. Unfortunately that is about 10% if you believe in the statistical relevance of the bell curve rather than dimwitted politicians.
Yana –
Love kumonThis is a very simple and basic workbook for beginners. Repetitive for slow/intermediate learners. I would go to a next level for advanced kids who get everything right away.
Mitchstargazer –
Very good material, it focuses on multiplication up to 5×10My child is 7 years old and has just finished using this book. Very good material, it focuses on multiplication up to 5×10. It’s not like other workbooks that focuses on a lot of topics and fail to have the child master one topic alone. My child can now recite his multiplication table up to 5 and answer the book with ease.

Back of book gives the study sequence to their books.First book we went through for my son to study during summer break between 2 and third grade. It was a perfect level for him. He had not previously done multiplication.
Niaja Brown –
This book is superior in it’s method in breaking down multiplication for young …This book is superior in it’s method in breaking down multiplication for young children. My daughter is 6 and she understood the material without my assistance. I could suggest this book to any parent who is actively involved in their child’s education. I think that if I had extra money I would utilize the full Kumon experience.

Great for extra school work at home.This is a great learning and practicing book. It has just the right amount of difficulty for the grade level chosen. What is great about it also is that it is easy to find parallel subjects to whatever your child is learning in school..Comes with answer key that allows you to go back and review wrong answers.

Maria Miller –
children need good examples to really get itThis book is based on the Kumon Method that introduces math concepts in an incremental, step-by-step approach, allowing children to grasp new skills little by little with less challenge or frustration.The practice helped my child develop an understanding of multiplication up to 5×10. It introduces the concept of multiplication by first reviewing numbers and addition, and then gradually shifting towards multiplication timetables.I would like it better if some real-life examples of multiplication are included, so children know why they learn multiplication and how the knowledge is used. Otherwise, I don’t know whether they really get it or not. The instructions and worksheets only deal with pure numbers. To make up this, I let my child use Beestar weekly math online. It has interesting word problems that build the insight. My child understands multiplications better when using both programs together. Overall, this is a fair book for very young children to start multiplying.
Sandeep Gaudana –
Use this book as a fun and easy introduction to multiplication up to 5×10If your child can add and subtract numbers up to 50,then this book will build on that foundation.Use this book as a fun and easy introduction to multiplication up to 5×10.

GreatGreat book for kids learning multiplication. Helped my 7 year old a lot– it wasn’t too overwhelming for her and she enjoyed it. No games or anything– just simple problems.
GDSouza –
Kumon momI needed extra math and reading/writing practice for my kids in 3rd and 1st grade. These books are easy to understand, very systematic and kids love it. we take them along in the car even for short drives. It keeps the kids busy in the back seat. would recommend these to any parent that would like their child to excel academically. who doesn’t?? I’ve purhased about a dozen plus Kumon books from amazon already and intend to purchase many more.
BioChemGirl –
Great for Motivated Little Minds!I only gave my daughter the most cursory introduction to this book and she on her own completed the rest. The instructions and format were simple enough for her to understand, requiring only occasional help from me, and the problems fun and challenging enough to keep her interested. I think this is a great book for a busy parent with a math oriented child.
Tatiana Belim –
Great book to help memorize the factsThis book is excellent homework companion. It is not very good at explaining the multiplication concept, but it has enough exercises that kids will memorize the facts also connect the dots pages add some fun.

MrsPB –
Boring, boring, boringBoring. But Repetition is the mother of Knowledge. Hopefully, slowly but surely my child is getting grips with her times tables…This one only has the times of 1-5. It is colourful and has a few mazes, but is mainly skip counting and practising the tables with frequent reviews. At the end of the book there is a well-deserved certificate of achievement for the persevering child.

Bite Size LearningThe Kumon Book of Simple Multiplication breaks down what can sometimes be extremely confusing for young children into bite size chunks. Each page is colourful and eyecatching and definitely enhanced my daughters understanding and she grew in confidence as the work progressed.

Sonia –
No lo recomiendoSoy maestra, tenía mucha curiosidad por los libros del método Kumon pero los he tenido que devolver porque no me gustan nada. Es cierto que va aumentando el nivel de los ejercicios muy sútilmente pero no me convencen. Si un niño es capaz de seguir ese ritmo aprenderá a base de repetición y repetición pero también estoy segura que acabará con su creatividad y capcidad para resolver problemas de una manera más abstracta.
