Math Kit II (G4 - Pre-Algebra)

Good resource for struggling students

I purchased this book for a couple of my students who have significant gaps in their math skills. While I found the book helpful in some ways - detailed explanations and small lessons, it also lack in serious practice. I have to continually search for extra practice for my students that would match the teaching method used in this book and that is proving the be more time consuming than I would have wished. Also, I would appreciate if the lessons would be grouped by topics rather than skipping around - it confuses the students, giving them too many skills to be practiced at the same time. I think mastering a skill at a time and then moving to the next skill would be more beneficial.

Math Kid II (G4-Pre-Algebra)

I didn't order this.

Overall good

I like the structure if this curriculum and I love that it focuses so heavily on when the learner is ready to learn, that has been a blessing and a really good fit for my kids. The downfall is the physical books and the download pdf material do not always match and the quality of the new printed books. I love the thick paper and full color border, and glossy covers of the old style books and I'm really dissatisfied with the new style. The paper is thinner and the covers are just regular paper. In looking at book 5 for the second time the back cover ripped off the binding. I don't that book will surviving 4 rounds if teaching.
