Kumon My Book of Money Dollars and Cents

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.

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.
