This workbook will improve and expand on the skills acquired in My Book of SIMPLE SUBTRACTION. In this book, children will practice first how to subtract the numbers 1 through 9 and then they will reinforce this skill by learning how to subtract numbers 1 through 20. The purpose of this book is to prepare children for higher-level mathematics by improving their basic subtraction skills.

This sequel to Kumon's "My Book of Easy Crafts" provides children with the opportunity to cut, paste, and assemble their own 3-D paper toys. They'll have so much fun, they won't realize they are learning.
Kumon workbooks are based on the "Kumon Method", an educational philosophy that aims at unlocking the full learning potential of each individual child. The Kumon Method introduces learning concepts in an incremental, step-by-step approach, allowing children to master new skills easily and without anxiety or frustration.

This workbook was designed especially for children who will make three-dimensional objects for the first time. Simple contours and large tabs for pasting make it easy for children to successfully complete the assignments. As they turn two-dimensional parts in the three-dimensional toys, children experience the satisfaction of creating things and grow more confident in what they can do with their hands.

This book builds on foundational pencil-control skills by tracing lines through increasingly challenging mazes. The exercises have many three-dimensional illustrations, such as towns, streets, and parks, which engage children’s curiosity. This amusing practice will also help children acquire the ability to concentrate, a crucial study skill for the emerging student.

This is the first Kumon Workbook in our series. Within, children have the opportunity to practice basic pencil-control skills. All the exercises include colorful, pleasing pictures that children will enjoy drawing. Children start by tracing straight vertical lines, and gradually move to drawing more challenging curved, zigzag, and diagonal lines. Through these exercises children will acquire the ability to use a pencil easily.
