A good, short supplement to your daily math work, these books provide one word problem for every day in 36 weeks. Each week's problems revolve around a central theme, but many topics are covered in every book to provide variety. Some problems have multiple parts, while others make use of charts and graphs. So don't let your skills get rusty - one problem a day will help to keep your math skills fresh. Books are graded for public school standards and content seems a bit simple in parts of the workbooks, so if you have a child who excels in math, you might consider the workbook that is a grade level above. ~ Stephanie
