K math workbooks?

[faiths13]

can you please tell me about some inexpensive math workbooks for k?

You could pick up one of those math workbooks at the store (Costco or Sams). For $5-10, they cover K-level math skills. (You have to teach it separately - which you can cover with Rosie's Education Unboxed videos. But the workbook pages are there.)

 

There are also quite a few on the internet free for the cost of printing them. Just search for Printable Kindergarten Math Worksheets.

My last K-er really liked Math Made Easy so I'm getting it again for my next K-er. Other than that, I've just bought colourful books from Walmart and the Dollar Store and they love them.

Thanks, I will look into those. I don't really want to get the workbooks at Walmart because I haven't found any I like. I was hoping there would be something more like a curriculum. LIke I know Singapore has workbooks for K.

try singapore elementary mathematics A & B. The A is probably quite basic for kindergarten level, but there are some basic concepts there that I found very useful :) I have 2 kids so was going to just re-use most of book A for DS2.

Horizons Math has nice math workbooks. For grades 1st and above, you need to teach from the TM.

However, for K level, they are very basic and easy to figure out without the TM.

 

I also bought Dorling Kindersley Math Made Easy workbooks for supplements. (I got mine at Costco at the beginning of the school year.)

They are very good.

I like Modern Curriculum Press Math K. It's 15 bucks and simple to use.

Or you can print of MEP reception or 1.

thanks for the tip! i was looking to supplement the SM series. when are the sales normally?

 

Scholastic Teacher Express has some good math workbooks that are usually on sale during the dollar days sales if you have time to wait. They are in PDF format so you would have to print them out. The Math Mats & Games: Time, Math Mats & Games: Measurements, and Math Mats & Games: Money are really excellent.

I really like the MEAD ones... we've used the Pre-K Math Builder, Pre-K Problem Solving (some math, some logic, etc.), Numbers 1-10, K Math Builder, K Problem Solving, and Numbers 1-100. They're colorful and actually have substance, which is more than I can say about some of the School Zone workbooks we've gotten.

 

ETA: We also have Singapore Essentials A and B... though really only B, as a friend lost our A ages ago. ;)

We used Singapore Essential Math for my 2nd DS. It was good, fun and fairly inexpensive. And you don't need a teacher guide because there are activities listed at the bottom of the page to either teach or reinforce each concept.

I got hold of the K level Harcourt Math Supplemental Workbooks, and they're great. We've been adapting them to work with dd's c-rods, instead of the counting blocks the book uses, and it's working really well. They're good for review, or if dd needs an easier day than with Miquon. No idea where you get them, but if you happen to see them, they're good.

[RayDad]

Math-U-See Primer is a good choice.

[Lots of boys]

I used Singapore A/B for one of my boys and didn't like them. I am now on the search for something else for my youngest. We use MM for 1-6. I might just work with him using Miquon for K.

I like MEP Reception, then just starting on Singapore 1A. For facts practice, my kids like the Mindware Addition Adventures and Subtraction Secrets books.

MEP Reception is fabulous for K--it was developed for 4/5 year olds, and does not include much writing. If you want/need a more tradtional workbook type K math, Abeka's K workbook was well liked by my oldest two, and the first part of R&S's first grade math is nice and gentle.
