not badFor my son word problem is somewhat difficult, so I compared a lot of word problem workbooks and online resources. This book is not bad, because it covers all the topics regarding second grade word problem. However, we are not very satisfied with it, as it only provides word problem practice. My son just repeated this kind of practice again and again. Sometimes he was very bored with these exercises, and he really wanted to find something that are interesting as well as efficient. We also found some online resources, such as Beestar.org. It is probably the best among the many learning sites. The worksheets are well-designed and have both time and accuracy targets set for your child to practice. If you are like me, you will be glad to find that sometimes free stuff is even better. When my son takes the online Beestar weekly tests, he often ranks high among his peers. The worksheets are engaging and helpful, and the competition among students makes my son more willing to improve his math skills.
