Yes they are fantastic. However, it is a program. The Frank Shaffer Singapore workbooks are not the same as the real textbooks and program. If you want your child to learn how to think about math then you have to buy the home instructor's guide, textbook, and workbook, and manipulatives. You actually need to sit down and teach the program not just put the workbook in front of your child. You can buy the program at singaporemath dot com. If you aren't able to invest the time in teaching the lesson it isn't worth it.
