Kumon My Book Of Simple Addition

My 5-year old son used this book last year. After he completed the "NUmber 1-120" book he started this one and had no problem accepting the concept of addition. In general, I like Kumon-series, in particular the early math books. For example, "Numbers 1-30" is a great book to introduce numbers/counting, and "simple addition" is a good one to introduce addition, and so on. My personal opinion for "intro-level" tracing/writing/math books is to start as early as possible. For books recommended for "2-3-4" and "3-4-5", start as soon as your child turns 2 or 3, respectively. For books recommended for "4-5-6" and older, you can even start 1/2 or 1 year earlier than the recommended range. The key is to complete the earlier books in the same series such as Numbers 1-30 and Numbers 1-120 (consider them "prerequisites"), and your child will be ready for this one. Also, the first a few pages of this book IS counting (similar to those in 1-120) and serve as a transition from the previous book, which is nice and my son did not feel intimidated by starting a "new skill". Some followup information to share: My son finished this book and then the "Addition" and "Simple Subtraction" books and now the "Addition: Speed&Accuracy" and "Subtraction". However, I have not found which Kumon book to do the next. In principle one should start learning grouping/re-grouping. The problem with grade-level Kumon math book is that they still start from the simple level, like "1+1,2+1,3+1" etc, and this could go on for 10 out of the 50 pages of the book, while I want to see grouping/re-grouping on page 1!

Excellent incremental & intuitive workbook! My kids have struggled in both public & elite private schooling due to the fact that all school curriculum is taught out of order and skips necessary fundamental concepts. Having homeschool forced on us is a blessing in disguise, because it’s given us as parents a direct window into the education system, curriculum, and chaotic daily requirements. I feel bad that my two kids have suffered through from preschool to 2nd grade. No more! We enrolled in Kumon and I’m utilizing all of these workbooks to cultivate a curriculum for our family. This simple addition book has been a life saver in allowing my daughters the opportunity to go back and solidify basic concepts, rebuild self confidence, and feel inspired to move forward at their own pace. This book covers adding 1’s & 2’s. Nothing fancy, but it does present addition in a non intimidating format and highlights patterns that begin to click. Thank you Kumon!

very good, I recommend

This book teaches addition via counting upwards and repetition. The first 8 exercises is tracing numbers and dot to dot exercises up to 30. It reinforces number line placement. The second section is reinforces number line sequence in sections of 10 (1-10, 11-20, 21-30). The first focus is on adding 1, and reinforcing that adding 1 is one more count on the number line. It is reinforced up to 29+1. This is enough for child to extrapolate the concept to higher numbers. The next focus is +2 up to 28+2. Again, the goal is to build a foundation to extrapolate this to higher numbers. This is a good book to help build a solid foundation for addition.

I just love the Kumon workbooks because they are so well organized, with pages that are simply laid out and they introduce the information incrementally. It appeals to the learning style of my five year old. I was a tiny bit disappointed by how extremely simple this workbook is. It only covers adding 1 and 2 to the numbers 1 through 29. It says it right there on the cover but somehow I missed it. I would say it's definitely pre-school level and not kindergarten as I'd hoped. I'll probably just do a few of the pages with my five year old and order the next book to do this year with her and let my four year old use this when I need her to have busy-work. The information builds very slowly in this workbook and so it might not be ideal of the child who likes variety in their workbook pages or who struggles with being under-challenged or gets bored really quickly. However for my daughter this will be perfect.

My 2 oldest did kumon and they are both now in advanced math. My youngest is in preschool. Now that I've been through kumon 2xs as a parent I am using these books to teach the kumon method to my little one. It is excellent practice. It doesn't need to be colorful. The idea is to reinforce the basics so that as the child progreses in math they don't need to focus on the simple arithmetic and they can focus on the theorems and such. The fun and games part can be learned in school. This is repetitive to solidly secure the basics.

I have had success with Kumon's books before, so buying this was a no brainer for my not so math savvy kindergartner. She loves the book because it is fun and colorful and she literally begs to use it. I'd estimate that this book would be best for a preschool aged kid or one who really struggles with counting. Will buy it again for my second child if needed!

My son really needed to start at the basics when it came to math. This gave us the simple math to practice with in a great format to make it easier for him to grasp the concepts. It really took a lot of effort at first to get him to work through the exercises, but once he got it, it clicked. It really helped us, I was a bit worried he would need a tutor, but by the time we finished the workbook I had a lot more ease of mind with his math abilities.

Just what I needed for my 4yro This book was recommended by friends After browsing the book, It will prove useful to the family

الكتاب روعة وفي سرعة وتغليف محترم واجمل حاجة التدرج في المحتوى ابني كان بيكره الماث بس بعد كده لقيته بسببه بقى أسهل بالنسباله

Excelente producto

Todo em inglês. No início o nível é fácil e no fim fica mais difícil.

Perfecto si quieres que tu niño aprenda los números de 1 al 30...Primero empieza poco a poco del 1 al 10 y así va incrementando. También con dibujos para que haga trazos y coja confianza con el lápiz. Siempre repitiendo lo números con el mientras dibuja para que los vaya aprendiendo. He puesto muchas fotos del libro porque una de las cosas que he echado a faltar al comprar estos libros es que no hay fotos de su interior y tampoco nadie las cuelga y es ideal para ver que son perfectos y si son lo que uno está buscando. En las siguientes páginas empieza con sumas (+1) del 1 al 30 así refuerza estos números para aprendérselos al mismo tiempo. Posteriormente hace lo mismo sumando 2 y como se ve en las imagines hay secuencias donde faltan número y ellos deben rellenarlos. Encuentro que es ideal y el hecho de cada día hacer dos paginas o tres yo hago según el niño quiera para no forzarle. Pero esto hace que cada día de una forma divertida el niño tenga contacto con los numero y al final los aprenda rápido. Le doy un 10! Eso si son los números del 1 al 30 y ejercicios de sumas (+1, +2).Contras ninguno!
