2nd Grade Basic Math Success Workbook: Place Values, Addition, Subtraction, Grouping and Sharing, Fractions, Time & More; Activities, Exercises, and ... Up, and Get Ahead (Sylvan Math Workbooks) Paperback – January 8, 2019

It's called the "summer brain drain" the 10-11 week period when kids aren't engaged in formal learning. By the time they return to school in August or September, they may have fallen two reading levels behind and forgotten "2 to 2 1/2 months of the math computational skills that they learned during the school year" according to published research.Public school professionals must expect this because as a parent of elementary-aged children, it is my experience that much of the work done in the first school quarter of the new grade is spent reviewing and relearning the work of the last grade - especially in math. Many school districts have gotten smart about reading and assign summer reading lists and book logs. Based on the research, they would be well advised to require the same thing for math.In the meantime, there's the Sylvan math workbooks including BASIC MATH SUCCESS to prepare your 2nd grader for next steps. My kids love doing Sylvan worksheets. All the pages in this workbook are colored and color coded which keeps the work visually interesting ("Today, we're going to do the Blue section!"). There are lots of graphics and the font and number sizes are large and inviting. Easy-to-read instructions and examples kick start the learning module.I particularly like the way Sylvan offers different level workbooks within the grade and subject area. For instance, after BASIC MATH, your child can then move up to Second Grade Super Math Success (Sylvan Super Workbooks) (Math Super Workbooks). These workbooks are learning you can count on.

I use this workbook when my second grader comes home without homework, and I love it! Its a great addition to any curriculum. Basic enough to use without conflict or confusion, but also quality enough to provide a challenge and be a great learning tool. I constantly reach for this workbook and Id recommend it to anyone.

Love the book using to tutor a child.

my son didn't complain

I got 3 of these books for my daughter to work on over the summer. Since kids loose over 2 months of information over the summer, and my daughter being one who falls behind easily as it is, I thought this would be a wonderful tool for her while she is out of school. She loves these books and she is also showing more improvement with her math skills and wanting to show me how she comes up with her own math problems for me to solve. She then checks my work to make sure I'm solving her problems correctly. I am so proud of her and can't wait to get more Sylvan workbooks.

Love the math books. I have a 1st grader and a 2nd grader that are both struggling with math. These books keep it interesting. It is not all addition and subtraction. It is shapes, measurement, counting money etc...... Someone said that this book was too easy for their 2nd grader. You know your child so if they are doing pretty well in math then go up a grade. Some pages are easy and others are more difficult. If they were all difficult my kids would get frustrated. I love the review pages too.

I like this work book more than others, definitely a good second grade level math.

Love the way the workbook is set up to helpy son Understand what he is learning before we move on. Homeschool and extra curricula friendly!
