Grade 7, Spectrum Math Workbook

This is challenging in that there are problems/subjects that due to the Common Core & critical thinking developmental program, are I feel way too advance at these early grades. I couldn't do some of these problems that quickly & not able to teach my kids the concepts so readily (need a real teacher & homework & repetitive learning/practice which had gone by the way side today).

Don't expect my kids to get every answer right - but it is there to be used to be challenged.

It is a needed tool to keep their brains active during the summer (also during the school year).

I have been quite happy with the Spectrum books, however this book left me wanting more for my child. While this book is full of well done worksheets, it gives little assistance to a child in the way of lessons, instructions and or development of the math skills. As most individuals will be using this book as a study aid, extra curricular book, or homeschooling workbook, the lack of any of the above makes this book only useful as a source for worksheets, and as such is an expensive book of worksheets.

We homeschool, so good workbooks are a major part of our curricula. I definitely have seen my share of workbooks written well and those that I find confusing and contradictory of the way we teach. This workbook is easy to understand and in an easy format that keeps my child's interest. We will be getting others from the same publisher.

When purchasing an item I always search for great quality, great reviews, without putting a dent in my wallet. Item arrived promptly with Prime. I am only giving this item a four star review because my daughter likes it. It seems dry and boring to me, but it does seem to teach what you need to learn in the seventh grade fairly well. I wouldn't buy it again, but like I said, my daughter likes it and she is pretty hard to please when it comes to textbooks.

We have been using this over the summer - because I have found it is easy to loose some skills in 12 weeks. I have my daughter take the chapter pretest. If she gets any questions wrong I have her focus on those type problems. Even when she scores all correctly, I sometimes pick out a page of a type of problem. I think it is a good book, useful. I definitely see it as a workbook, not an instructional guide.

This was bought to supplement my son's math. The book has lots and lots of work problems which i like. I remove 1 star because they need to do better at times in giving examples of how to solve problems and well as WHY they are doing what they are doing, to get to the solution. I hope that makes sense. A good book though all in all.

Great way to keep students involved in Math during the summer. It was easy for them to follow the instructions and do the work. It helped to keep their minds working during the sumemr. Would recommend.

Homeschooling parent here. This was a great resource to reinforce my son's understanding of mathematics. We paired it with Spectrum Algebra for 6-8 grades. For a kid who likes Math, this workbook was kind of like an activity book! But I can understand how other non-math-minds would find that it is more like work :)

Just what I wanted! It's a wonderful practice book that covers all the basics. Lots of repetition, which is what I felt my child needed to really get comfortable with operations. I'm using it to keep his skills from backsliding over the summer.

I purchased grade 7th and 8th. No wonder they stop there because it's the same materials all over again. Just buy either one, 7th or 8th, and use it for both grades because unless you need more practice problems, it's the same topics.
