Page a Day Math Review
June 01, 2020
Disclaimer: I
received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in
exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review
nor was I compensated in any other way.
Learning math facts is a crucial part of math and being able to be
successful in upper math. The last few weeks my daughter has been revisiting
her multiplication facts with a Multiplication Starter Kit from Page a Day Math.
A sturdy box hold all of your books in one place |
We received a physical kit of the Multiplication Starter Kit. I also was able
to download several of their Handwriting Books Each In Print & Cursive that are in digital content to use in my homeschool: Adorable
Adjectives, Beautiful Biology, Fun Physics, Cool Chemistry, Scenic States, Multiplication
Flash Cards, and several of the Math Fluency Assessments. There are several
other options available. These book are basically copywork books that have words that are relevant to the theme of the book.
Multiplication Starter Kit from Page a Day Math is also available for
addition, subtraction, and division in both a physical kit and a digital
format. The physical kit is consumable and intended for only one student. The books are geared
towards kids ages 6,7, and 8 years old or those who need some additional remedial
review.
Multiplication Starter Kit comes in a handy box that you can store you
books in. The set has 12 books. Each book works on a particular fact family.
Book 1 is multiplying by 1 and the last book is multiplying by 12. The problems
progress with each workbook starting with your simple multiplication to more difficult
facts. All the books have 550 problems in each of the books.
Fun characters that are appealing to kids |
The books are colorful
and illustrated but by no means overwhelming with illustrations. The Math Squad
characters are your illustrations and look like animal super heroes that
encourage you with super math information in the front cover. The characters
Mo, Bo, Jo, Flo, and Zo are seen throughout the workbooks.
Here is a sample of a unfinished worksheet. You can see that you trace out the problems and the solution is freehand |
A brief overview is provided at the beginning of each workbook |
The format is the same throughout the books for the Multiplication Starter
Kit. First you learn and then your student traces the math problem and then
solves each problem. After you have done the first few facts with your child some kids
should be able to finish up the work independently. After your child has worked through the problems you can
check the answers and circle any problems that are not correct. This concept
allows your child to go back over and correct their errors and that way they
identify immediately which problems they got wrong. After they are done with
the page they can color the stars in the top right hand corner of the page. The
review pages are at the end of each book with 40 problems also.
In the back of the book there is a certificate of completion. The certificate page is perforated and can be removed.

You can download Flashcards, Progress Tracker, Assessment, and Math Squad
Coloring Pages for your kit that you can download and print off flashcards. The
information is found at the beginning each workbook where your kids can write their
name of who the book belongs too.
Progress Tracker to keep up on all your hardwork |
Assessments are available for addition, subtraction, multiplication, & division |
The coloring book pages have fun math word problems & all the fun Math Squad characters |
How did I use Multiplication Starter Kit in my
homeschool?
I have a 17 year old daughter who tends to regress often in math due to her
disabilities. It always seems that multiplication and division facts elude her
during those times.
The Assessments explain how to administer them |
The first thing I did was have her do the Math Fluency Assessments for
multiplications. Currently my daughter is at a good place with her math facts.
During these times she can fly through her facts without any issues. I am
always on the lookout for those times that aren’t so good with her math fact skill. This assessment can be used before you start the books and you can even use it at the end of all the 12 books.
Colorful flashcards for every kit |
I printed off the multiplication and division flashcards. I didn’t use them
at this time since she was in a good place. Next week that could be a different
story and I may need to review them with her.
Completed Review worksheet & several of her completed pages in several of the books |
At first my daughter was a bit put off with the tracing the numbers since
she knows she is a big girl. In reality this is really good for her having to
trace the numbers as handwriting is extremely challenging for her. It helped
her keep her focus on keeping her numbers straight and formatting them in a
particular space. The space was challenging for her with its size as she tends
to write larger. She did a good job maintaining the space and it also slowed
her down with her math facts. She enjoyed working through the problems taking
her time with writing. I let her use colored pencils and markers while working
on the workbooks.
I like the repetitive approach to math facts. I know that this can be boring
for kids but honestly it’s the only way to drill those pesky math facts into their
minds. In reality you are doing both math and handwriting learning simultaneously.This is a great supplement to add to your math curriculum.
My daughter said, "Mom I liked this but I wish it had a larger space for me to trace and write the numbers." "I did really good with my math multiplication tables." I personally liked the smaller space as it is good practice for her writing smaller.

The middle photo in the collage shows an unfinished page and the other ones are ones that my daughter did |
I also did a few of the Handwriting Books Each In Print & Cursive with her. This year we have been
doing biology with her and I thought that the Beautiful Biology would be fun to
work with her cursive. She has liked doing the other ones also. I just added
these in for fun as she has pretty much finished 11th grade this
year officially last week. I always like to have my kids do something a few
days a week in the summer time.
