Kumon My Book of Money Dollars & Cents

My Book of Money Dollars & Cents

This sequel to My Book of Simple Money helps children make the difficult transition between cents and dollars. 

The student first reviews coins' names and values and then slowly begins to practice dollars and the dollar-based structure. My Book of Money Dollars & Cents will make a challenging mathematical concept seem easy. 

Not only is money an essential aspect of everyday life, but it may well be your child's first experience of why knowledge of math is essential. Most children are eager to learn more about the mysteries of money. That enthusiasm will allow you to reinforce the basics like addition, subtraction, and even the decimal system. Concepts are taught on a precept-by-precept approach, ensuring that introducing your child to money will be thorough and frustration-free.

About Kumon: Over 20 years ago, when our family began this delightful home school adventure, workbooks for toddlers and preschoolers were hard to find. But that was just as well because the ones that were available were inane, insipid or intolerable. (Why would we choose to prohibit watching corrupting television, then turn around and use workbooks with those same characters depicted in them?) Workbooks are not appropriate for all young children; many are simply not ready for the fine motor skills that are necessary. Let those children continue to learn at their God-ordained pace and in a way that encourages a love of learning. But when your children are ready to move to focused learning, reach for Kumon Workbooks. The captivating illustrations are child-friendly and the scope and sequence are just what educating parents have been looking for. Kumon centers have been helping children master fundamental skills for over 50 years. Originating in Japan, they have excelled in their primary emphasis of math and reading instruction. With the exception of a page or two of nonsense, these are outstanding books, worthy of any child's time and effort. The skills taught are essential and appropriate, and their presentation can entice even the most hesitant learner. The assignments are short; each is slightly more challenging than the last so that your child progresses at a gradual, comfortable pace.
