Addition and Subraction Secrets

I purchased these books for my first graders. They really enjoy the addition one, and should be ready for subtraction shortly. It's a fun way to get a little math practice in.

Subtraction Secrets

My son (6) loves the subtraction secrets. He has a natural aptitude for math, so this game appeals to him. I like that it teaches him how to follow a map and directins to achive a goal. At first he was wondering of what his reward would be at the end of the exercise. But now he realizes that the reward is finding the answer. Howvere, maybe getting to put a sticker on the right answer or something like that, would make the game more fun. A bit pricey for something, that once he is done with solving the secrets once he cannot "play" again. I ended up making copies of the pages so he can play again when he is all done.

Review of Subtraction Secrets

I purchased this item because I will be student teaching, in a first grade class, in a few weeks. The book is large enough to make copies from and I think it will be a good activity for the students to do for "morning work." I think the students will like to product, too because it is almost a puzzle for them. They have to follow directions and use Geographic skills (reading a compass) to solve each puzzle/page.

I got this book and the companion Addition Adventures book for my 7 year old. She likes math and puzzles and it seemed like a good fit. She does like it. The puzzles are fun and keep her interested. We've just started it, so maybe we have not yet seen it all, but it might be nice if the format of the puzzle/solution was varied.

Fun!

It's fun. Takes me reminding her that it exists to get her to use it, but once she starts she does three or four puzzles.

Review for Subtraction Secrets

My son is in first grade and does some second grade work in math. This is very age appropriate for him as far as the math goes. He needs a little assistance on the mapping part, but that's also a fun new skill.

This was a gift, but I observed it being used. It is being enjoyed by the person it was given to while giving that same person math practice. The problems could possibly have been a bit more difficult.

Good opportunity to practice math skills

Great worksheet to help my son (1st grade) practice his math skills in a way that he enjoys. Also good at helping with fine motor skills as he draws out the lines. I worry that after a while though, he'll bore - so would like to have seen different kinds of worksheets (or more advanced skills) as well.
