My kids love this book. It's easy and simple that my kids and pickup and do the exercise. They are able to finish the whole book without skip any page.

Old style school ..I recommend it for my kids for ever

Summary: A great resource to help teach your kids subtraction, but it's strictly a book of exercises, drills, etc. No replacement for one on one teaching.We have our first grader working on this - she does one page each night along with her regular homework. The first dozen or so pages were subtraction review. Then it starts to get tougher. For example, 43-17 = 26 where you have to carry the tens. She was having some trouble, but after slowly walking her through a few problems she picked it up right away.In terms of skill level it's fairly well correlated to what the public schools target as the grade level outcomes - this is clearly a year advanced of what her school is teaching at first grade level, but a half year head start can't be bad and it certainly wasn't beyond her capabilities.The repetitive nature of the exercises in this book really helps. We highly recommend it!If you've found this review helpful or have questions/comments, please let us know!

My 7 yo daughter is more confident doing subtraction at school after starting this workbook. It helps her concentrate better while doing math homework. At first, she could only do 3 problems at a time without looking around and getting up from her chair. The more she works on this book, the longer she's able to concentrate and the more problems she's able to finish. It's like she's figuring how to do it faster in her own ways without me nagging her.

I purchased all three books on 2nd grade math (Addition, Subtraction and Word Problems) for my daughter when she was at her summer break before entering 2nd grade. We practiced almost every day and by the time she started her classes at school she knew how to add and subtract 3-digit numbers with confidence. These work books are excellent alternative to expensive Kumon classes. It's mid October and we are almost done with the second grade Addition, Subtraction and Word Problems. She scored above average at her school as a result whereas before she couldn't add even 1-digit numbers without using her fingers. I'm very satisfied with her progress within such a short period of time. Will continue buying these books.Highly recommended!

i bought it for my son who needed some additional work on subtraction and addition..we do 2 pages every night besides the regular home work..of course at first he didn't want to do anything but then got used to it and better.. AND the best thing: just before christmas he came home from school with a certificate saying "MOST IMPROVED IN MATH"!!! i can only say its because of this!!! we are a little ahead of the other kids now as he came home one day and said "mummy we just started the 3 digit subtraction in school - but i already know how this works because of the books!".. and so we were ahead almost 6 weeks from the other kids..i will buy more in the future, they are great workbooks and the kids will love them!!
