Stephen Hill (2)

Great resource of exercises. Well-written, interesting, diverse examples, simple language. This is definitely a very helpful book, even for me as a non-native speaker. I definitely recommend it!

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 show more 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. show less

I assume we can remember when we really started going to school in the first grade, and the Kindergarten has been our, thanks to our parents. Introduction to an environment which we had to learn to share with other children our age, who might have come from a different background.

We all can remember the reading primer where we not only learned to read but to begin to understand what we had read as well. Our teachers used to ask us questions regarding the reading for that day. For me, being show more a child of the 1950’s the book had been the quintessential primer of that time, “Fun with Dick and Jane.” I happen to possess a teacher’s copy of the book complete with lesson plans and questions, somewhere in my collection of books.

At the same time we also began to learn about numbers and the thing we had been told by our teacher was math.

Mr. Stephen Hill in this book has taken the simple math problems we’ve learned in the first grade and combined it with the simple primer language we used as we started learning how to with to give the book’s younger readers a book which contains 120 math word problems which to answer with the aid of their parent[s]. In this book readers have to take the words they read and then translate it into actual numbers and then do the math. Included in this book is also a section of math which we as adults take for granted and that is $$ MONEY $$. And in the beginning of the book there’s a note for parents and teachers on how to make the best use of this book.

For educating its young readers in this manner I’ve given this book 5 STARS. show less

Picture books are gone and students are reading real books now and having to write a report on what they’ve read. In this, the third book in his series, author Stephen Hill is helping parents teach their children a wide range of new math problems, area which parents now take for granted. They include: Multiplication, Division, Area, Perimeter, Time, Reading/Understanding Graphs, etc.

And like in his previous two books, the author has presented his 120 math problems using words instead of show more number. This forces the book’s readers to read the problem being shown and then translate each problem to numbers on the paper they’re using to solve the problem. This combination of reading and then solving each problem reinforces their understanding of the math they’re now learning.
