Very helpful
This is a very helpful book for keeping your child or student up to date with daily review work. Each day builds on the previous days work. It is just enough work to keep concepts fresh. Could also be used over the summer to keep kids on track. Great product.

Great resource!
I bought this book to use in our homeschool and love it! It is a great book to use for review as well as an easy way to teach new concepts that we haven't covered. No more pages and pages of boring problems. My kids don't complain about doing math anymore and they're getting it! The drills are great for speeding up their computation skills.
