 Two Plus Two - A MUST HAVE!Mar 05, 2010
I have ordered so many items from amazon, but this is the first time I felt strongly enough about the product that I just had to write a review.
I ordered this book last year for my first grader and I'm happy to say that as a second grader he knows his math facts! Your child isn't going to learn them on their own; you have to work with them. So if you're going to hand him/her the book and walk away. You should save your money. However, with your help your child can learn them as easily as mine did. One thing I didn't allow my child to do is count on his fingers or use a number line. There is a trick for every fact or a different way of thinking of it. When my son would bring home his rocket math practice sheets, I would stand over him and say the tricks as he took the practice test. Once he started doing it on his own, if he got stuck, I would ask, what's the trick?
I love, love, love this book and it is the BEST $$ I have ever spent. I'm so proud of my son as he is breezing through his rocket math tests with no problems! Now I'm back looking for that awesome multiplication book.
 Two Plus Two is not FiveDec 29, 2009
Overall a very good book with step by step learning of basic addition and subtraction. Highly recommend this book to parents who want to get their kids learn in a systematic manner. We are still working on this book as the practice exercises are a lot. Excellent book and looking to buy the multiplication book.Two Plus Two is Not Five (Easy Methods to Learn Addition & Subtraction)

Success at LastSep 03, 2009
My eight year old has learning disabilities struggled and struggled with addition and subtraction. As soon as she learned a fact it was forgotten. We tried software, flashcards, manipulatives, workbooks, tutoring and summer school. I decided to try Two Plus Two is Not Five.
Finally, my daughter is successful. She doesn't have to memorize math facts, but learns the facts by looking for numerical relationships (i.e. next to each other). After practice tools that build these skills she quickly sees the patterns presented and no longer has to depend on rote memorization and recall.

 Could be more suitable for young childrenDec 15, 2008
The book may be fine as a full tuition guide but I thought it a bit bland for young children to sit down and work with. I prefer Wizard Guides Revision Topics Key Stage 1 by Jayne Greenwood , Holly Linklater and Susan Roberts for the graphics and ease of getting children to sit down and look at it.
Really enjoying this bookSep 30, 2008
I purchased this book about a month ago to work with my 3yr old. She has already learned 19 addition facts. I go over the flash cards everyday two times in the evening. It takes about 5mins and my 3yr old loves doing them. I go over the worksheet for reinforcement since her printing capability is limited. Great way to teach the facts.
thanks,
