Kumon Math Skills Workbooks are unique because they focus on teaching one specific skill from start to finish. With just the right amount of practice, children master each topic and gain confidence without becoming bored or frustrated. This workbook helps children make the difficult transition between cents and dollars. By first reviewing the names and values of coins, and then slowly beginning to practice dollars and the dollar-based structure, this workbook will make a challenging mathematical concept seem easy.
Though these books are designed for use with very young children I have found success using them with high school students who have very high needs. The money books are especially good since the pictures of money are realistic (not always the case with some math workbooks) reproduce well with almost any copier and the worksheets alternate between using the fronts and backs of the coins and one dollar bills (dollar bills are as high as this book goes) so students become familiar with both sides. The workbooks are sequential and provide lots of practice before moving on to a new skill or concept. My one regret about this book is by the end of the book there is quite a bit of emphasis on the fifty cent coin which is so seldom used today and which I tend to not to even teach to my students who just need the very basic concepts.
great product! use for homeschooling

These books are great. The way each lesson is just enough to not make a child get bored or hate it really makes it unique from other books like this. My kids don't even realize how much they are learning. It's so easy to learn with these books. Before you know it, they've mastered a new concept.
