Carson Dellosa Common Core Math 4 Today Second Grade Workbook, Telling Time, Fractions, Addition, Subtraction, Number Patterns, and More, Mathematics Classroom or Homeschool Curriculum (Volume 5)

I picked this up for my second grader to keep his skills sharpen, and it's been surprisingly effective. I like that it breaks things down into daily sections, making it easy to incorporate into our routine without being overwhelming. The topics spiral around, so he's constantly revisiting concepts like time, money, and basic addition/subtraction, which really helps solidify the learning.

This book was just what I was looking for. I needed something quick for daily math skill review for my students. I don't have a lot of time, and the product I had been using was wordy and time consuming. This one is less overwhelming especially for students who struggle with reading. Since each day is so short, we often can complete more than one in a day, giving us the opportunity to review more skills.

Got this for my kid who is struggling in math. I purchased the book that is the grade below my kid’s grade as a review. The layout is pretty clear, where the child only works on 4 questions a day. My child often does more each day, completing at least 2-3pages each session. We are about halfway through the book and I notice a slight progression in difficulty as well as introducing new topics. My kid is willing to work on this book and seems to be improving in problem solving. The book has plenty of pages and lots of problems on each page. It also seems to be adequately in line with COMMON CORE.

My son uses this to supplement his current classwork. He uses this when he has completed any other daily classwork. We use it as a no-pressure practice item and he really enjoys it. His teacher said it has helped to keep him occupied while others are working. It seems to be comparable to what he is working on in class.

Homeschooled this year because we moved states. Used these books for review this spring to make sure there weren't any glaring holes in my kids' education (I'm older than today's common core standards). These books cover what we went over this year. They are definitely a "work on a separate piece of paper" sort of workbook, on account of there not being a ton of extra space per page to "show one's work", but that's not a big deal. It's definitely not good for honing one's skills, as there are only a few questions per concept, but fine as an assessment tool.

This book is great to supplement instruction as we shift focus to Common Core Standards. The book is broken down into 4 short daily sections of problems and a 5th day review of concepts check. These are great to use in centers, or quiet work when students have completed an assignment ahead of the rest of the class. They are also short enough to use in lieu of your morning message, and to send as additional home support. What I love MOST about this book, is the Common Core Standards Alignment Matrix at the beginning of the book that breaks down which standards the children are working on for that week. You can quickly see which standards may need additional support on an individual and whole class level. I bought this and the Common Core Language Arts 4 Today, Grade 2: Daily Skill Practice (Common Core 4 Today) and love both.

I really like how this series of books is set up. 4 days of lessons then a quiz. I teach RSP so each group is doing the book one year below their actual grade level and we spend two weeks for each one week in the book. I put it up on the promethean board and teach it as an interactive lesson with the kids. They really like it. This allows me to put some common core general education support into my math lessons, instead of just the pure focus on IEP math goals. We spend half our math time on this and half specifically working on the IEP math goal skill. I bought multiple grade levels and use this with most of my student.

This book is a great way to provide 5 minutes of daily practice. My son's kindergarten teacher does not assign homework, so we started using this book after the first trimester as a tool to build positive homework habits. The book is divided into daily practice for Monday through Thursday, with a mini review each Friday. The instructions and concepts are simple enough for my son to read on his own and yet just challenging enough that they spark many discussions. I feel this book is helping him learn to work independently, while reinforcing that Mom and Dad are here for support with his school work when needed. I do feel that the math workbook is much higher interest in topics and samples than the Language Arts book for this age.

Ok
