Pookamama Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) Ok, so the two word problem books I know about are Singapore Challenging Word Problems and Kumon. DS is just finishing up Singapore 1A and doing fantastic with it. So I wanted to add some Word Problems. I'm leaning toward Kumon just for the cheap factor. But I thought I'd ask to see what else was out there that I should know about. And if anybody has used Kumon what grade level I should get to match up? From looking at the page previews it seems grade 2 would be a better match now for where he's at in Singapore. Or is there something especially awesome about Singapore word problems that is worth spending more for? Thanks!

SorrelZG Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 The Verbal Math Lesson has a lot of word problems. I'm not familiar with Singapore or Kumon to compare it to either though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking-Iris Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 We've been working through the Kumon 2nd grade book here. It's our daily habit to do two word problems a day with our math lesson. I have my ds answer in complete sentences as well. We haven't had much practice with word problems and this book is actually too easy for him sometime. I haven't seen Singapore's book.
