Spectrum Math Workbook, Grade 1: Volume 2

This is an excellent resource for teaching math. It can be used as a review for the summer as another reviewer has mentioned. I used to teach special education and sometimes using Spectrum math workbooks helped students understand a concept when other programs and workbooks would not. As a mother who schools her children at home now we often use Spectrum math workbooks to get the basics down pat before doing some of the 'fun math'. This is useful book for teaching math.

I was concerned about my daughter "forgetting" what she had learned in mathmatics during school breaks. Spectrum math makes it fun and interesting for her to continue learning. I am very pleased with the book.

I'm homeschooling and I could go on the road with the Spectrum books. After trying several different curriculums, I stumbled across these books in the bookstore. They were an answer to prayer. There is an answer key in the back, so I haven't had to haul around a huge teachers edition. These books, all of them (we homeschool a 1st grader and 3rd grader and we use Spectrum Spelling, Writing, Reading, Language Arts, Vocabulary, Phonics, and Math) are exactly what we needed. My first grader LOVES the reading books. We ordered both, the regular Spectrum, and the one written by Mercer Meyer with the Little Critter characters. Childrens books (especially the ones written at her level) are SO expensive, and these reading books come with so many stories, and they have exercises for reading comprehension. I REALLY can't say enough. One thing I'd like to see them do? Add science and social studies/ history and geography to their mix... art and music while we are at it!!

The Spectrum Math series is very good for helping your child review the materials covered in school. We are using it every day and plan to continue using it over the summer to make sure we're ready for next fall!

This book offers concise and clear coverage of grade 2 math topics. It organizes the content by key concept highlights, practice sheets, and some applications. Ideal for 2nd graders to consolidate what they learn in classroom. Do not miss the activities included. They are well designed. If your child does math daily, she can finish this book pretty soon. As a supplement, I also let my daughter use a Houston community web site www.beestar.org. It provides free timed math exercises online every week. With this book under belt, she ranks pretty high among her peers online. A good math book that delivers result.
