My Book of Money: Dollars & Cents |
This sequel to My First Book of Money helps children make the difficult transition between cents and dollars. By first reviewing the names and values of coins, and then slowly beginning to practice dollars and the dollar-based structure, this workbook will make a challenging mathematical concept seem easy. Ages 6-8.

After my daughter mastered the coins under $1, I moved on to My Book of Money: Dollars and Cents from Kumon with her. The workbook helps young learners make the difficult transition between cents and dollars. The beginning reviews the names and values of coins, and then the rest of the workbook slowly introduces dollars and the dollar-based structure to make the challenging mathematical concept seem easy. As with the other Kumon workbooks that I have used with my daughter, I appreciate the slower pace.
Kumon's Book of Money: Dollars and Cents is a good workbook for kids who know how much each coin is worth, but who needs the practice in counting up the coins. The illustrations are realistic, the summations increase in difficultly gradually, and there are a good amount of practice examples to help solidify a concept. One thing that both hurts and helps students is that there are several boxes that already have solutions in them for the students to trace. While it may hurt some students who don't bother looking at the coins and just trace the numbers, I found it helped my son because he didn't focus on the answer and instead counted the coins out loud first - when he looked over and realized the answer was there and it was correct, it gave him instant gratification knowing he got an answer correct without having to check with me.
All in all, this was a good workbook and one that my kids enjoyed completing. Recommended.
Though these books are designed for use with very young children I have found success using them with high school students who have very high needs. The money books are especially good since the pictures of money are realistic (not always the case with some math workbooks) reproduce well with almost any copier and the worksheets alternate between using the fronts and backs of the coins and one dollar bills (dollar bills are as high as this book goes) so students become familiar with both sides. The workbooks are sequential and provide lots of practice before moving on to a new skill or concept. My one regret about this book is by the end of the book there is quite a bit of emphasis on the fifty cent coin which is so seldom used today and which I tend to not to even teach to my students who just need the very basic concepts.
I did not care for this workbook at all. I honestly do not know what the big deal about Kumon is. This book has .50 pieces included in the majority of the problems which confuses my kids. We barely even see them ina real world application so why include them in a workbook? If I could give this book a negative review as in a minus 5 stars I would. It was not worth the money.
I have been happy with all of my Kumon purchases! They are great supplemental guides or summer bridge books. They are fun and help to break down concepts to more manageable bites of understanding. I highly recommend for homeschoolers or for mom's who simply want to supplement their children's normal school curriculum.
