Excellent workooks.

Easy Grammar Plus Workbooks


Easy Grammar Plus workbooks, and the whole series of Easy Grammar was written by a teacher in Arizona who saw the need for improved grammar. She wrote her own grammar concept pages with practice pages following. Thus, when the books are opened, the left side has the teacher answers, and the right side has the student practice page. Concepts are easily explained.
My favorite grammar books, this whole series, along with spelling books, completed my curriculum.
One big book was broken down into smaller parts for ease of student use. This series has 4 parts. I gave my children spiral notebooks to write their assignments in, so there is no writing in these books (or, if I missed any pages, there is very little writing)
Soft cover front and back, with plastic spiral binding. Some wear.
$5 for set

Primary Grade Math books


These two older books both cover place value and whole numbers in the first two chapters with multiplication, division, decimals, and geometry covered near the end. Traditional math books explain a concept, then practice problems to master.  I used parts of these two books together as extra practice for a concept. The 300+ pages each, hardcover books were quite worn when I bought them several years ago, but are quite nice for practice.
