Grade 1 Word Problems (Kumon Math Workbooks)

Bought for my son Is a good book. Also bought for my friend son.

An amazing book, very good a need for every child, my 5 yr old just love solving it.

Starts easily and gradually gets slightly more complicated. Would suit a 4-5-6 yr old. My 5 yr old is happy to do a page every day or two.

My daughter was having difficulty at school with her schools quick 10 (a series of math question given to the children first thing in the morning). The simple addition and subtraction she had no problem with, but the questions that required sentence comprehension (e.g. Johnny has six apples, Mary has four apples. How many apples are there altogether?) were just beyond her. Having successfully used other KUMON books to improve her Math, I decided to invest in this, and I am glad that I did. As with all of the KUMON books it starts simply, and included pictures so the child can use those to count, but within 10-lessons these pictures are gone, and the child must think about the questions and extract the mathematical equation themselves. The questions cover both addition (Person A has 10 x, person B has 3 x. How many x?), and subtraction (C has 7 y, D has 4 y. How many more y does C have?) so that the child can get a good understanding of working out both. Later in the book it moves on to Ordinal numbers (E is in a line, there are 4 people in front of them. What position is E?), so gives a good grounding. The literacy side of the book is good too since the questions are all written long form, the child has to read, understand and decipher the problem which naturally improves their reading comprehension skills. Although progression through the book is slow (on purpose) this works in their favour and is quite contrary to the current teaching approach of touching on a subject for a short period and then coming back to it. This is all about getting the basics right first. As an introduction to reality based math (rather than the pure abstract) this is an excellent introduction, and I would recommend it to any parent who is seeing their child struggle with this kind of problem.

My daughter loves it, her previous kumon books where getting all too easy, but this is perfect a great way to keep her occupied, entertained and train her brain all at the same time

Introduces word problems very well and increases their confidence.

It is definitely worth buy. My son has improved in his school since he started this book. I would definitel recommend it.

As expected if only my granddaughter would do the work without moaning.

Must buy. Helps build fundamentals.

問題数が多い上に日本の小学1年生と連動するような内容の算数問題で役立ちました！ 第二弾や夏の総復習セットを出して欲しいです！ 英語のテキストの方は疑問が残る内容だったので心配でしたが、算数編はよかったです！ おすすめです。

I always enjoy the Kumon products

I purchased this to support my daughter in practicing various first-grade subjects. The book follows the same program as her school, making it easy to understand and a helpful resource for her practice. I feel confident it will make learning more enjoyable for her.

Good for home practice
