20 math problems really isn't that much. In 3rd many schools will have them do the 100 addition or subtraction problems in 5 mins. Many kids need to practice that at home. Too many kids can't do that.
As for the reading, what was the subject or the book? Large print or a lot of pictures is very different than 25 pages of a Judy moody book.
As a former dilly dally homework doer 25 mins of work can easily become an hour with out really trying. I did it too many times.
Is that old math, new math or common core?
