Mark Twain Common Core Math Workouts Resource Book, Grade 8

I think this short workbook (approx 50 pgs, large font) is nice. Sometimes books have many more pages which are unnecessary/redundant. Important to note, the book doesn't teach the topics so you need to have a foundation. It is more like a workbook consisting of questions/answers with good explanations in back. I still have a basic knowledge of middle school math and just needed some way to introduce my son to the math he will do next year without intimidating or boring him. I prefer having a book like this which we can take in the car for times we are waiting. It beats trying to scour the internet.

Although I am not a fan of common core, my son will be in a public high school next year and they will be using common core. One of the things I like about this book is it asks to justify all answers so a student will need to know why they answered the question the way they did! Some people confuse the "justify your answer" with the need to write a paragraph about what they did when for most questions it is simply asking you to show your work. So far, the book is great!

I got this so my daughter has extra practice outside of her daily mathematic assignments. Keeps her on track helps her review what she has learned.

An okay resource. It is tied to Common Core so that part is done for you.

This is just skill and drill and thought it would be more intense.

I know this is geared for kids in 8th grade but for someone like myself, it does wonders to help in understanding Geometry.

Even though I have access to all kinds of material for my class, still I thought this was worth adding to my collection. Used it a lot.

Gives my child a chance to practice the math she is having trouble with in school. Nice pages with problems to tear out on a daily basis and practice.
