Title: High hopes
Product review: I had high hopes for this workbook, based on the sheer number of lessons, colorful cover, and price. At first, I was disappointed by the "slick" pages that don't hold pencil well. It doesn't matter how hard you push on the pencil, you still can't see the writing very well. Erasing, even with a good quality eraser, is impossible and just leaves smudges. I was going to use this (along with manipulatives) for our main math curriculum, but there was next to no instruction and I found it to be a little too fast moving. I ended up giving these books away. I would only recommend using them as a supplement by topic, not as a methodical, cover-to-cover workbook.
