Carson Dellosa | Common Core Math 4 Today Workbook | 5th Grade, 96pgs

The Math 4 Today workbook is very helpful in meeting the mathematical academic needs for the grade level. I have been using the workbooks with 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. The book doesn’t cover everything but is one of my favorite tools to use with students. The daily questions for the first four days is a great way to introduce the topic and the fifth day assessment pages help narrow down the level of comprehension of the material. My only problem is that I can’t seem to find the same type of book for grades 6-8. If anyone has found a similar version for higher grade levels please let me know.

Great for homework. Gives students constant review, practice, and preview of things to come without the stress. Takes only a few minutes to go over these concepts in class so students can self-check and learn.

My son is in 2nd grade and can do this book just fine. We give him to days per day and he enjoys it. It's straight forward math, no guidance to the math, mostly drills, but there is good pacing and lots of variation between boxes so kids don't get bored. I also like that they repeat ideas for additional practice across the days. Again, no repeat math problems but lots of repeat concepts for additional drilled practice. I really love this book . I have 2 kids. My daughter is in 4th grade and doing the 4th grade level math, 5th grade level language arts. My son is in 2nd grade doing 3rd grade math and 2nd grade language arts. I have them do two days worth of pages per day and this is a good pace for them. They will be done with the book before the end of the year and I will be moving them to the next level. All this is in addition to what they do in school. This is to give you a point of reference on the degree of difficulty, as I see it is mentioned in other posts. I hope this helps! :)

This book has a nice variety of Common Core style problems. The book mixes up the problems rather than just going through pages of one problem type then pages of the next problem type (ex. division then fractions etc). It is easy for my child to practice lots at once without risk of forgetting because it’s been pages since the last subject. This book has been helpful to reinforce math learned during the remote learning scramble caused by the Covid 19 emergency shut down.

This book has been great for our third grader. She had been demonstrating a lack of confidence in math (despite being very skilled at it ) so we wanted a book that would keep her *just* ahead of her class to keep her confidence up. I bought a number of books and this was the only one that 1) mixed up the types of math questions so I felt like she was both learning new content and practicing the skills she'd already learned (many books have the content in separate sections), and 2) that she "liked" (in quotes because she doesn't "like" math, she says, sigh!) enough to be willing to sit and do every day. We elected to do "a page of math" each day. So instead of doing one page over four days as noted in the book, we'd do one full page each day. We'd generally do probably 3-4 pages on weekdays and one on weekends. This meant that she got through the book before the end of third grade. We bought this book in September and it is now March and she is almost halfway through the next (fourth grade) book! Her confidence is way up now and while she still would prefer to do anything other than math practice, I think she's actually starting to find it fun to learn new concepts when they are introduced. Really glad to have found this series and will definitely keep using it!

This is a great spiral review! All standards are in the review. Highly recommend!

This is perfect for my home schooled son. I have tried so many options for math lessons and this has method has proven to be the best so far. Daily lessons are set up in groups of 4 random but typical 5th grade math problems. He is learning the concepts as we work on daily problems together, and with each return to a concept at a later date, I can see that the material is registering and is being retained. Each daily lesson can easily last an hour or as quickly as 10 minutes depending on the problems and how much help he requires. For example, the daily lesson could include a variety such as 1 fraction addition problem (common or different denominators), 1 problem using the order of operations (including exponents), 1 long division problem, and 1 double digit multiplication problem. Word problems are often included. Basic addition and subtraction (2 and 3 digits) are also included throughout for review. It is making math so much more enjoyable for both of us. I use a basic math facts workbook that he can do on his own for a supplement.

Great support for teachers

sent a used copy with 15 pages that were already written all over with a pen

Very good math practice book. I highly recommend it.

Excellent
