This is ONLY EXERCISES not Lessons

2008-05-07
I am disappointed because I read the description and reviews that said this book would TEACH children how to tell time. I read statements about this being a complete book, and children didn't understand how to tell time until they used this book.
Those are misleading statements. (In my opinion) A person that knows nothing about telling time, cannot learn soley by this book. Someone still needs to explain it.
That said, I think this is a Great WORKBOOK. It has many exercises that include learning to read time charts (as in a shark feeding schedule for 3 sharks). There practices for analog and digital times, and many "word problems" to figure out what time certain events happen. That takes up the first 132 pages of the book. Pages 133 - 316 are money exercises. It shows the front and back of each denomination of coin, and explains how much each one is worth, and introduces the dollar bill.
The exercises are colorful and fun. This book will also help children practice writing numbers. They will learn different ways to pay the exact amount for items (which coins to use).
There are award certificates to fill in when the child has finished all the assignments.
The back pages are answer sheets, and tucked inside the back page is a bookmark/ruler.
I recommend this Workbook-"The Complete Book of TIME & MONEY" - it is worth the retail price; even better at the sale price.

This Book Will Teach Your Children Time and Money!

2008-01-28
Our child was struggling to learn the concepts of time and money. So I turned the to the familiar Complete Book series in search of a book on the topic. Viola! The search engine here on Amazon picked the Complete Book of Time and Money. The title of this book really says it all. It is a book which will teach your child step by step to master the concepts of time and money. The pages are parent/child friendly with clear instructions and colorful illustrations throughout. By the time your child has completed this book they will have a firm grasp on the concepts of time and money.

Great, definitely buy it! Fun!

We got this book yesterday for our 4 years in Walmart for $10.00 along with a set of coins for $2.00. Started today with the money section. We were working with it for two hours without a break until I got tired myself. Great approach and sequencing, and fun for a child. Definitely must to have.

Great book, try to get it on sale

I came across this book originally at Sam's club for $4.99, and picked it up for my son. We are homeschooling 6 children and my wife liked the book so much that she color-copies the pages so my daughter can also do the assignment. She makes several copies so even the little ones can 'try' it.

Unfortunately, the cost of color printing at home is not negligible. Since she liked it so much I returned to Sam's to buy 5 more copies, but they were sold out and would not re-stock. I hesitated in paying $10-11 per copy, but the kids really eat this up and have rocketed in their understanding of time, money and math in general using this book. It is a great accessory for learning.

I finally bit the bullet and bought 5 more copies at the $10-11 price. It will be worth it, considering that is the cost of one print cartridge for a color printer these days.

I only regret I did not know how good this book was, and I did not purchase several copies the first time around.

Very helpful!

This book is fun and paced so that your child can "jump in" wherever they need some extra help or understanding. After doing plenty of pages in this (big) book, your child will definitely have a firm grasp on the subject of money.

I cannot say enough about this work book. I love that each lesson is repetitive. The children actually have a chance to learn the skills before moving on to the next level. Wonderful!! I just went to the M.Hill website to find more books. I'm hoping they are all set up like this. Amazon seems to have a great price at a $10 and some change. They are 14.95 from the M. Hill site.

Really breaks down the skills

I have used this book with learning disabled children and they really get it! The book breaks down each task sequentially and uses real money and time images.The book also teaches the language of money and time. This is what you need1

This book alone taught my son time & money

2000-06-01
My 7 year old son decided he wanted to do this workbook without any interference from me. He refused to even let me check his work.

I had my doubts, but he completed the book and gave it to me to look over, and he actually DID understand each exercise!

It is all laid out in perfect little steps that aren't too hard. The very basic information is given to the child, so he or she never gets confused.

I love this book and plan to teach all 6 of my children about time and money using nothing else.

This is one of the best workbooks I have ever come across -- and I'm a homeschooler, and I've looked at plenty.

I highly recommend this one!

Excellent Complete Workbook for Teaching Time and Money 2000-05-23
Bright pictures, fun practice pages, but best of all the workbook moves slowly enough and has so many practice pages your child has a chance to master each new skill before moving on to the next. Many other workbooks move too quickly and don't have enough practice exercises for your child to truly master each skill presented.

A rare find in workbooks. Excellent resource for home-schoolers or children who need additional practice at home. Book is divided into easy to use color coded sections for each skill, time to hour, time to half hour, counting by pennies, counting by nickels, etc.
