180 Days: Math for Kindergarten

This workbook is a great resource for small group instruction or centers. In my class, we complete 2 pages each day during centers. I can differentiate instruction by having students complete pages based on their learning level. I love that it covers a variety of national standards and exposes students to new math concepts daily. Because this workbook follows the same daily pattern, my kindergartners were able to recognize and read many of the directions independently after 2 months. The pacing is perfect, as it gradually increases the level of rigor each week. Also, it is very beneficial to use the tracking sheets, which outline student strengths and weaknesses, during parent conferences. I would definitely recommend this workbook for small group instruction or for parents wanting extra practice for their kids at home.

Makes for easy planning for teaching my granddaughter.

Me and my five year old kindergartener are half way through this- it took us about two months. It on-level and difficulty increases at an imperceptible rate- two qualities often missing from other workbooks. So far almost no "dud" questions.We usually do six to ten pages at a sitting, since at the moment we're not doing any other supplemental workbooks. It is an excellent adjunct to Kumon since this book has an extreme focus on concepts, where as Kumon pages at this same level have a laser-like focus on the mechanics of writing & counting.There is some additional teacher guide material that I didn't pay much attention to, so I can't speak to that part.

I was looking for a workbook that would ensure that my child was learning what is required in kindergarten, and to fully prepare my child for 1st grade. This book met these goals and. . . . then some.Depending on your child, he or she will most likely need your help for at least the first few months, if not the year. It is unreasonable to expect an average 4-5 year-old to be able to read and understand all of the problems without your help. If you are not prepared to sit with your child and work through this book, then this is not the book for you. This is not a colouring book.My child completed the workbook in six months. She completed more than the suggested one page a day. Her pre-school education was average. I began the workbook at the beginning of the school year, October. She easily worked her way through many of the initial problems; while with others, I was required to stop, teach and or explain the problem. The workbook was consistent with all concepts and problems being taught in her kindergarten class.Since each set of math problems repeat every day, and they became progressively harder, I was able to ascertain how well she understood or had mastered the concepts. The constant repetition of the math problems was key to me being satisfied that she had mastered the concept. Her ability to evaluate and read the questions and answer them quickly, was when I knew. . . . she knew!

I reward my kids with stickers on a chart for learning activities and give my 5yo son in Kinder 1 sticker for every page (front & back) done up to 3 pages per day. He loves this book and is always disappointed to stop and move to next book. Each page has similar layout and concept so kids catch on quickly to what is required. 6 questions per page (12 for front and back of each). Also teaches patterns, types of measurements (time versus distance versus weight, etc.), and more.

The media could not be loaded.  We love this math workbook for my 4 year old. It keeps his attention and is a great introductory to math concepts without overwhelming him. 6 problems per page and even though it’s mot colorful, the questions are fun and interesting to not be boring.

I love this book series. I'm homeschooling my 5yo daughter. She's really hard to keep on track and this is so simple and easy that she finishes in a matter of minutes, just long enough for her attention span. Was skeptical at first, but these books are amazing!!! Simple, to the point, and perfect for homeschooling

I used this book for my homeschooled 10 year old autistic son. It teaches through pictures and visual demonstration of problems, and has the repetition that he needs to grasp concepts. Of all the many books that I've found, this is one of the best for teaching math to an autistic child who is not a math savant. I wanted to write this review to help other parents of autistic children who need more than normal repetition to teach concepts.

Fantastic book! I'll definitely buy it for every grade!
