I was sent MATH MADE EASY 10 Minutes a Day and Math Made Easy Extra Math Practice for grades K and 4 to review. I used them both daily with my two homeschooled girls in addition to their regular math pages, and they both enjoyed the format, size (very thin), and the bonus features (timer or stickers) of these books. If you are bad with math, the answer key is included with both. Highly recommended for both homeschooled and public schooled children. Also perfect for keeping up skills during summer break.
