My Book of Subtraction (Kumon Workbooks)



My Book of Subtraction (Kumon Workbooks)
Kumon Publishing | 2005-10-06 00:00:00 | Kumon Publishing North America | 80 | Math
This workbook will improve and expand on the skills acquired in My Book of SIMPLE SUBTRACTION. In this book, children will practice first how to subtract the numbers 1 through 9 and then they will reinforce this skill by learning how to subtract numbers 1 through 20. The purpose of this book is to prepare children for higher-level mathematics by improving their basic subtraction skills.

I bought this workbook for my son while I was teaching him subtraction. Unfortunately, this book is just a bunch of subtraction problems, but there is nothing to help teach subtraction! I can just as easily generate subtraction problems on the computer or even write them out. Also, it was written with number sentences. I wanted to expose him to both number sentences and stacked problems.



I bought "Two Plus Two Is Not Five" and found that to be an invaluable source to teach tricks for adding and subtracting that even my 4 1/2 year old could learn.

We started our six year old with Kumon Workbooks over this last summer hoping to give him heads up with first grade, which was just around the corner. He stepped in barely knowing his alphabet. By the end of the summer, our thirty-minute lesson each day not only gave him confident in his letters but he was spelling way into a first grade level and he is reading! I have tried other brands and found them to be much to confusing for a child because they jump around in different styles throughout the workbook. Kumon is consistent in their style all through their books and my son was able to absorb his lessons without frustration. Since school has started he not only feels confident within his class time, but finds any small homework that comes home fun and easy!



Search Kumon Books and you will see tons!!!



Good luck with your adventure!

Encyclopedia Of Space And Astronomy (Science Encyclopedia)



Encyclopedia Of Space And Astronomy (Science Encyclopedia)

This is a huge, up to date, single volume encyclopedia. It is not a text, but an alphabetical listing of just about everything there is to know about the subject. More than most astronomy books, this one contains a lot more information about the various space oriented NASA projects. I can't say that every mission is documented, but in looking several up I couldn't find any that were missing. Likewise other aspects of space technology aren't left out. You don't find discussions for instance on the de Laval nozzle in most other books.



On the astronomical side, his discussions on dark enery and dark matter are as good as any I've seen. This is not to say that he claims to know what they are, but he gives a good description what the leading current theories say. I notice that he has no comment on the speed of gravity (which nobody seems to know), but I guess you have to draw the line somewhere.



One problem with this book is putting it down. It is so big, and has so much information that you tend to want to read it from beginning to end. Except that you get distracted and start jumping around as something new grabs your interest.

Takes young readers into our planet's vast oceans and teeming seas, introduces them to many of the earth's marine plants and animals, and provides a full-color poster souvenir of their tour.
Reviews
Each book in the Bank Street Museum series is laid out in a museum tour format. Each one is a different museum about a science topic. This one is about Oceans and marinelife. This one is basically a public Aquarium but is called Oceanarium. The tourists ride a glass elevator into the fish tanks to learn about the different kind of sealife. Fish, Sharks, & mammals. A pullout poster completes this tour. Other titles in the Museum series are Dinosaurium, Planetarium, & Floratorium.
