I like the book well enough, but have 2 major complaints:
1. I don't think that handwriting belongs in a Math curriculum, and don't think a Kindergartener needs to learn how to correctly spell a number or color. Even if this were something I would like, the way the book has the letters written is the style with little curls at the bottom of all the letters instead of straight lines, which I don't think a 4-5 year old should practice yet (just my opinion, I know there are those out there that think differently).
2. The pages are almost a glossy texture and it makes it impossible to erase. It also makes it hard to color with crayons. Markers work fine, but they are slow to dry on this type of paper and smear if touched too soon. This has really frustrated my son.
That being said, the topics covered are appropriate for a 4-5 year old, and go at a pace that is good.

I ordered this book not knowing what it was going to be like. When it got here and I started flipping thru it all that came to my mind is amazing. My son loves this book particulary the star sticker system where the child receives a star for every page it has finished. The pages are set up in a simple manner so your child almost automatically understands what it has to do. The book teaches your child all the math basics from counting to same size, same number, greater , smaller etc. So sit down with your toddler and have fun learning math using this book :D

My 5 year old daughter loved this book. It kindled a real interest in learning. She found that being able to stick a gold star on the progress chart for each completed page gave her a great sense of achievment. I felt the workbook gave an excellent introduction to all mathematic principals in a varied and child friendly manner. The book progresses gradually, reinforcing the all the skills and math concepts that 5-6 year olds should be familiar with. We were so impressed that we bought the next book in the series.

This is a great book. It really does make math easy! It's worth the price. I got this for my children and it's a great math book. It is very easy for children to follow and learn. It came with gold star stickers my children love to get on their papers. This is a workbook for children.It has parental or teachers instructions page by page in the back of the book. The book starts with the number 1. It has pictures asking the child how many of the objects are their, at the bottom of the page it has "copy the pattern". Then they write the word One, match the number one with how many objects their are in a group, Then it proceeds on to the number 2 - 10. Then the book goes through various activities such as connect the dots using the numbers 1-10. The numbers 11 & 12 are on one workbook page, 13&14 and so on to 19 & 20. Then it goes to can you remember, More than activities, add one more, add 2 more, take 1 away etc teaching simple adding and subtraction. The book reviews shapes, thick and thin lines, tall, short, color, inside & outside, front and behind, beside, between, the same, different, sorting, find the missing numbers etc. One suggestion is to make copies for later lessons.
An Introduction to Math for 5-6 year olds March 19, 2002

Kids are always looking for something fun to do, so if your child likes to color, they can learn all about numbers and shapes while being artistic.
Each page is well organized with colorful borders and black-and-white "coloring book type" pictures. The focus is on preparation for a more formal study of math.
This is a complete home-study program to encourage children to practice the essential math skills they are learning at school. The workbooks were compiled and tested by math experts and are designed to increase your child's success at school.
In the front of the book you will find a Progress Chart and a page of stars. Once your child has completed each page, you stick a star in the box that corresponds with the lesson. The workbook is designed to help your child explore the world of numbers in a fun and enjoyable way. There are connect the dots games, Can you remember? challenges and counting games.
The Content:
Names of the numbers 1-10 and 11-20
Sequence, or order of the numbers.
Number values. Understanding the quantity that each number represents and that, for example, 5 is always 5. It may be 5 big buses in a row or 5 small
peas in a circle, but it is still 5!
That when counting, the last number names the set. Many children count the quantity accurately 1, 2, 3, 4, but in response to "how many?" they often say
the wrong number.
How to recognize written numbers.
How to write numbers.
How to recognize a number when it is written in words, and how to write it.
The concepts of more than and less than, initially by looking and then by counting.
Adding numbers together, language involved in the addition process, symbols for addition and subtraction.
Shapes and color
Measurement
Positional language - In front, behind, inside, outside, between, beside, above, etc.
Shapes, objects and patterns, identifying matching items, sorting things into
sets, adding to sets, recognizing patterns and putting events in a sequential order.
32 pages are devoted to "Notes for Parents." Here you will read about how to encourage your child to color in the illustrations and how this will help to develop pencil control, increase eye-hand coordination and build concentration. They advise a range of colored pencils or felt-tip pens. The page-by-page notes also give more insight into each activity sheet.
Well designed and supports National Council
of Teachers of Mathematics Standards.
