While restructured, the grade 3 math from Math Mammoth still meets and exceeds state standards. In worktext B, 5 units of math skills are covered, building upon 3rd grade skills introduced in Worktext A. Instruction is written directly to the student and requires very little teacher preparation. Each student will need their own consumable worktext to work in. Introductory pages are a user guide for parents. For additional help during lessons, access free lesson videos on the publisher’s website and create unlimited worksheets for practice. Pages have light use of color to break up the white space but is not distracting for students. 213 pgs. pb. ~Rebecca
The revised 2024 edition of Math Mammoth 3 has been restructured, yet the overall difficulty has not changed. This restructuring has taken chapter 1 and split it into two chapters, and some topics like elapsed time, shapes, area, perimeter, and fractions are now covered over more than one lesson. Two topics were removed from this level: rounding 4-digit numbers, which is now covered in level 4, and Roman numerals, which can be found online if you would like your students to study the topic. More strategies have been provided for multiplication and additional emphasis on writing equations for word problems has been added. The first chapter includes a thorough review of 2nd grade skills for those students who are new to the Math Mammoth program. Each chapter also has additional games and activity suggestions. The same four components make up your year of math (2 worktexts, test booklet, answer key). Areas of study in Grade 3 include: addition & subtraction with mental math, rounding, multiplication, time, money, four-digit numbers, division, measurements, geometry, and fractions. ~Rebecca
