Kumon Grade 1 Geometry & Measurement (Kumon Math Workbooks)

Geometry and measurement might not sound like the most exhilarating topics to first graders—or anyone, for that matter. However, the "Kumon Grade 1 Geometry & Measurement Workbook" takes these fundamental concepts and presents them in a way that is not only digestible for young learners but also engaging enough to maintain their interest and encourage consistent practice. Kumon workbooks are renowned for their structured approach, and this one is no exception. It methodically introduces young students to shapes, spatial reasoning, and basic measurements, building their skills gradually through repetition and incremental difficulty. The workbook covers everything from identifying simple geometric shapes to understanding length and size, which lays a strong foundation for more advanced mathematical concepts. True to Kumon’s style, the workbook is straightforward with a clean and uncluttered layout. While it may lack the flashy colors and characters found in other children's educational books, this simplicity keeps students focused on the task at hand without overwhelming them. Each page is clearly structured, making it easy for children to understand what is expected of them. While the workbook excels in educational content, its engagement factor might not hold up as strongly for all children, especially those who thrive with more visual stimulation and interactive elements. However, for parents and educators looking for a no-frills, practice-oriented approach, this workbook is ideal. The satisfaction of completing the exercises and seeing their progression is a significant motivator for many children. Kumon’s reputation for boosting students' proficiency in math is well deserved. This workbook ensures that children master the essentials of geometry and measurement, reinforcing their learning through exercises that encourage repetition and gradual progression. It is an excellent tool for reinforcing classroom learning or for use in a homeschool curriculum. The "Kumon Grade 1 Geometry & Measurement Workbook" is a solid choice for parents and educators seeking to strengthen a child’s early math skills. It’s a no-nonsense, effective workbook that focuses on building a strong mathematical foundation, providing plenty of practice to ensure young learners gain confidence and proficiency in geometry and measurement.

Bought this for our 6-year old to help with incremental understanding of concepts. School curriculum jumps around and never provides enough repetitive, incremental, practice/learning. Since distance learning & covid have revealed why our kids have been struggling in school we enrolled them in Kumon and have bought all of these Kumon workbooks starting with simple +/-, simple sentences, sentences, words, rhyming words/phrases, writing grades 1 & 2, reading grades 1 & 2, counting coins, coins & money, telling time, and now geometry & measurement grades 1 & 2. We weren’t sure what to expect with the Geometry & Measurement books, so we were pleasantly surprised that they cover less/more, grouping concepts, review of time/$, and introduce length, volume & geometric shapes. I’ve decided to start both my 6 & 7 year olds at the beginning of the Kumon workbook series to fill in all learning gaps. They are able to do about 2-3 pages in 4-5 books a day (about 10 pages a day takes them 1-2 hours). So far they’ve completed 4 full books each this month and are learning at a much faster clip now all on their own, no hand-holding! Thank you Kumon for creating an independent learning curriculum with results! Wish I’d known about Kumon when my kids were 3. Glad they are catching up now, thanks to Kumon, as it only gets harder to fill in learning gaps as they get older. Highly recommend these books. Don’t start at whatever grade your child is currently in. Instead, start at the beginning of the series (even if it’s easy) and make sure to correct right away and given immediate feedback once they’ve completed a section, so they can correct bad habits and move smoothly through more difficult concepts later. Directions are clear, simple, and easy for a child to complete on their own. If the directions are confusing then that’s a sign they need to go back a level & have gaps in their learning, because Kumon is a self-directed curriculum that teaches self-learning. Gaps in knowledge prohibit a child to self learn. That’s we have decided to start at the beginning and both our daughters have made significant progress quickly and gained confidence, accuracy, and speed!

This one was a GREAT BUY! It reviews many concepts and increases with difficulty in the Kumon style. It gives the students learning tips on almost every page to increase fluency. I only wish that the grade level books came with certificates like the single subject books. My son did this as an advanced 5 year old homeschooler.

I’ve used Kumon Workbooks for our homeschool curriculum and I’ve loved using them for the past 4 years. It is an affordable option and teaches mastery skills. By the time my boys (7 & 5) are finished with a Kumon workbook they are confident in the concept/skill.

Love the colorful pictures and how kid friendly it is! Concepts are explained simply and to the point for my little one.

Overall Summary: Highly recommended for preparation and practice of concepts. Generally better if you sit with them for help. Description: Kumon is simply practice, practice, practice. These books provide the necessary problems to get your child prepared for the concepts and problems they will encounter. With this book it is grade one. I have found that even though my child's school is pretty good, the amount of material provided is not sufficient. This is where these types of books, and particularly Kimono, comes in. With the Kumon series, based on my experiences with my daughters, is that I have to work with them to provide the reasoning behind what they are doing. What is the purpose of measurements, equations, etc. Basically try to relate these abstract ideas presented in the books with their own experience. Otherwise the problems become very mechanical and boring. This is an issue with every book, not just this series. This book, and those in this series, are an excellent supplement to the homework provided in school used to reinforce ideas that they have learned in class. My child's teacher has reported excellent improvement and she now wins awards regularly. Whether this is based on more of an active participation by me, or the books, I am not sure. But I will say that the books do provide an activity for both of us to engage in.

I am so happy with this book. My son absolutely loves it. He is in first grade and we homeschool. This has really helped his reading and comprehension skills also. He reads all the instructions and understands what he needs to do. Usually he hates doing school but he really likes doing this book or any other kumon book. He has really gotten a better understanding of putting numbers together and grouping. We are half way through the book and can’t wait to finish. So far it’s actually not much about measurement. More grouping numbers. But love it!

Keeping my little one (pre school) busy during the lockdown days. I bought the set of 6 books. These books are worth it.
