Step-by-Step Problem Solving, Grade 2 (Singapore Math)

I think this book is very good for children who need more challenigng math skills. I highly recommend the book.

A little tricky for my 7 year old/2nd greater. My son isn't as excited as he is with the other math and reading we ordered

The Singapore math books a little harder than other math books, and it really is common core math. I homeschool my two kids because of the common core in public schools so I don't know if I will purchase Singapore math books after these but if you don't mind common core they are good books; they are difficult for kids that have not had common core.

This book was recommended for my son who was struggling with math. It is very easy to use and he actually likes it.

My second grader didn't care for this book. It is highly focused on process, and he finds he can just get the right answer, so it's hard to convince him he needs to develop a rigorous process.For example, here is an intermediate problem from the book: "Aidan has 10 marbles. Taylor has 2 more marbles than Aidan. Rashad has 4 more marbles than Taylor. How many marbles does Rashad have?"The book wants them to draw little bar graphs with brackets identifying how many more marbles each kid has. While I'm trying to explain he should draw it out, my son just says "16." It's hard to argue with the right answer.For kids who may be having trouble with the logic of math, maybe this rigorous look at methodology would do some good. If your child is capable of producing the right answers without jumping through the hoops the book sets up, my experience was that it was hard to convince him the hoops are worth jumping through.That being said, even for kids who don't have the patience for process, there is some good word problem practice here.

My daughter is in 2nd grade and this book is helping so much, I highly recommend it for home use or if someone is homeschooling. I just love it

Easy to follow for students, very important resource for parent to help kids build math skills from early stages. Glad to find it

Few pages, and most of the pages are just one or two question asking you write down your solution. It's not worth my money.

I wasn't really sure what to expect or which level book to choose. I was a bit disappointed by the poor quality paper and drab black and white presentation of this book. I have used a couple of the questions for the SEN kids I teach but have paraphrased the questions to make them a bit more exciting. It would also be helpful to have a 'look inside option' and some description about the level of the work to help select which book to buy.

Littered with errors throughout.
