As with the other two books that I have reviewed, I worked with kids who were having some problems with math problems. This book as well as the others were quite helpful with the kids. I would use these books with all kids.

To better understand what my review for this book is about please refer to my review for the Grade 1 edition of this book.

If you can remember in the second grade you kept on reading with bigger book with even bigger words which we’ve had to learn the meaning of. And just like our reading had gotten harder to do.

Mr. Stephen Hill in this book has taken 120 math problems, more complex than those we had in the first grade, where its readers are asked to first read the math, write down what they’ve read into numbers before doing the actual math. Readers also have to figure out whether out whether the bigger number problems involve doing addition or subtraction. The math problems here contain three digits instead of just two. In this book readers are also exposed to the place value of numbers.
Parents are encouraged to work with their children, and there’s a note to parents and teachers how to make the best use of this book.

For wanting to further educate its young readers in having to understand and translate written math problem into actual numbers and then do the math, I’ve given this book 5 STARS.

The mathematical problems are more complex and the terms used at a Grade 2 reading level. Using charts and three digits numbers build on techniques learned in earlier chapters. Use words in the math problems to create spelling lists.
