buttercup Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Kumon workbooks? I saw some Word Problem books at Barnes and Nobles and thought they looked pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diviya Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I don't use the workbooks, but I do supplement Singapore Math with the Kumon program. I think it's really great for math facts drill. I'm a huge fan. However, if their word problems are the same for the program as in the workbook you saw, they are pretty simple. More for reading practice than anything else I think. I think you'd be better off with the Singapore Math Challenging Word Problems. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peso Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I supplement MUS with Evan Moor Daily Word Problems. Variety is good :) Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 We use the Kumon Word Problems book one grade up from the level in Singapore. It should be noted that my DD is a quick learner and doesn't need a lot of repetition of basic equation solving. Where she needs practice is on solving word problems. So I have her do the Singapore textbook, the Singapore Intensive Practice book, and the word problems in Singapore CWP and Kumon WP. We skip the Singapore workbook.
