5th Grade Jumbo Math Success Workbook

Love the paper quality and contents. Worth the money.

Sylvan makes the best practice workbooks for math. If, like me, you’re working to fill in the at-home school day with meaningful work for your kids, this is a great math practice resource. It’s 300 plus pages of high color worksheets with clear directions and not too many problems per page.If supervising at home learning is your first teaching experience, here is some advice from a mom of three and former elementary school teacher... Learning new math and practicing math kids already know are two different and important things to do. I actually think of them as two subjects: conceptual math and math practice. Math practice is like working out for your brain. Even if you already know how to run, you get better at it through practice. And you get worse at it when you don’t practice. When kids don’t practice the math they already know, they actually lose skills over time. Implementing a 30 minute daily math practice time can change that, by reinforcing skills through practice.For daily practice, use a workbook that is at the kids’ comfort level, even if it’s a lower grade than the one they are in. They will get the benefits of practice, and should be able to do it pretty independently if you find the right practice level.For that type of math, I think this is the best workbook out there right now. And a 300 page workbook will last a long time.

I have used this with older students that have disabilities that are often not exposed to a wide range of math skills beyond basic counting, calculations, basic clock reading, and basic money skills. This whole series is an amazing tool to help them get the spectrum of math skills with a beautifully colorful presentation and an absolutely elegant progression of exercises meant to train any students' mind to gain all the math skills at a conceptual level. The kids love it! kids working with other materials beg and pester me to have a Sylvan Book. Students don't want to go out and do other activities because they so enjoy working with their math book! I recommend this book for any person learning this level of math.

The activity range for different levels of difficulty are great and serve many purposes, from the very basic 5th grade level problems to advanced 5th grade/ 6th grade problems.The answer key however was not as easy to follow as other books we are using.

My children love these workbooks. They beg to do these workbooks. The pages are very engaging and colorful. The games, riddles, jokes, and puzzles make math a lot of fun. In the first third of the book there are brief explinations on how to do the problems (a little teaching/explaining, but not much). Plus, they are a good size workbook for a good price. We bought our first set at Costco to get ahead for the next year (awesome summer practice!) and have since used them for homeschooling while moving (bought on Amazon). Highly, highly recommend!

My daughter has not been a fan of math- to put it mildly. I decided to try this workbook as our homeschool curriculum this year since it looked a bit different then all of our previous workbooks. So far, I am really happy with this and so is she! I like that I can choose to have her do one page of each coordinating section and the math puzzles and life applying math examples make it more relevant as well as fun. I think we found the perfect curriculum for her this year!

We like the variety of skills and applications in this book. Not too much of any one thing. Each math goal is broken down into several levels and the activities are unique and interesting.

I bought this book for my Son for summer school and he loves it. It's easy and self taught. My son spends lots of time and seems to enjoy learning this way.... Homeschool may be better for my son .... My son has even talked with me about it. ADHD plays a major role in helping to determine if this type of education is a better learning activity then school. This will offer my son the ability to get away from the bulling because he's so hyper and difficult at times because he's board.
