Word Problems Grades 6-8 (Kumon Math Workbooks): Workbook 1

Worth to buy for year6-8, practice at home and learn to concentrate on questions

Highl recommended for kids needing extra practice or those who want a challenge. It is very easy to follow and made a difference in schol performance

Some reviews mentioned that these are impractical problems i.e. not application-based, Yes, that is true to an extent. However, that is not the reason you should buy this book. The idea is to help the student think out a solution instead of blindly applying a formula, plugging in the values and spitting out an answer. It is a great tool for cultivating thinking-based problem solving. It also teaches that there is more than one way to arrive at the solution. When I say "teach", I don't mean that the book shows you how to solve the problem. This book is not a textbook for teaching or learning. It is for applying your knowledge (gained in class, home school, tutor groups, etc.) and figuring out how to solve the problem. The answer key is provided, but not the method used to arrive at the solution. This is the reason why I bought it - you are forced to think out the answer; there may be more than one way to get the answer and the answer key only serves the purpose of giving the answer and not doing the thinking for you!If that is something you are looking for - you should definitely buy this book!

Very good material for my son who is going to be in year 7. The delivery was super fast.

Workbook I and Workbook II are included in this 192 page book. Be mindful that the answer key for the first book is right in the middle of the book! currently page 88. Then book II follows. The problems are in increasing difficulty with the skill displayed in bold at the top of the page, there are also hints at the bottom of the page on some of the newer or more difficult tasks. This is not a textbook, it is a workbook, totally worth the money. Don't rush through it and success is sure to be achieved!
