How we scored them

The Shelf Score weighs fit for the reader, contents and edition, value, and the listed reading age or grade level. Four of the five list a reading age or grade. How we pick explains the weights.

Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each book’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score. Reading age or level counts on a list where at least one listing gives one, and a book whose listing gives none then scores zero on it. Where no listing gives one, the score is taken over the other 85 points. Books carry no warranty, so warranty is not scored.

How to choose the best multiplication and division workbook

Match the grade level to the reader

Pick the band that includes the child’s current grade: Scholastic Panda targets grades 3 to 5, School Zone grades 3 to 4, Academic Sidekick grades 2 to 4. A customer-marked reading age is a rough guide.

Check for an answer key

A child working alone needs a way to check answers. Academic Sidekick and School Zone state an answer key is included, and Stacy Otillio includes solutions.

Before you buy

• Check the reading age and grade level against the child’s current level.
• Confirm an answer key is included if the child works independently.
• The Humble Math listing gives only a title, so less is known before buying.
