Critical Thinking has done it again!  We have had the chance to review Mathematical Reasoning Level B (for 1^st grade).  Vivid color pages, easy to understand instructions and full of fun activities, what first grader wouldn’t love this math book! 

What I really like about this book is that it covers the complete core requirements for first grade and includes topics such as:

Ø     Addition

Ø     Bar Graphs

Ø     Calendar

Ø     Capacity

Ø     Fractions

Ø     Language

Ø     Manipulatives

Ø     Matching

Ø     Money

Ø     Shapes

Ø     Subtraction

Ø     + many more topics

Critical Thinking has always done a great job of making learning fun – from language arts to science and math.  This book is no exception.  It follows the same format as the other Critical Thinking material in that each lessons builds upon the next, helping your child become “more comfortable with concepts but also challenging them to continue building their math skills.”

My daughter is in first grade but is already doing second grade math.  I used this book as a supplement to what she has already learned and it’s seemed to help her with what she’s doing now.  It’s been a wonderful addition to her “free time” activities although it’s really learning.  I love how that works!  She thinks she’s having fun and all the while she’s learning and reinforcing the things she’s already learned!

In summary:

Ø     Price:  $32.99 (book)

Ø     Core curriculum for 1^st grade math

Ø     Overall:
