Description
Workbook assignments are directly correlated with each textbook. Small arrows, usually located in the lower left hand corner of a page, specify when to pause in the text and what exercise number to complete.
Publisher's Description of Primary Math US 3A Workbook
Workbooks provide further practice for students to complete independently in conjunction with textbook exercises. This essential component reinforces learning to create a solid foundation in elementary math.
Note: Two workbooks (A and B) for each grade correspond to the two halves of the school year. Soft cover.
Category Description for Primary Math U.S. Edition (Gr. 1-6)
Primary Math U.S. Edition uses the Singapore methodology (based on the Singapore’s Ministry of Education Syllabus) that employs a concrete-to-pictorial-to-abstract approach to teaching. Concrete illustrations are incorporated heavily in the early grades, gradually giving way to more abstract representations so that math is learned meaningfully. The program builds strong problem solving, critical thinking, and computational skills through well-chosen practice problems. Primary Math focuses on topics such as using whole numbers, fractions, and decimals, perimeter, area, volume, angles, quadrilaterals, symmetry, time, length, weight, money, graphs, and algebraic expressions. American money and U.S. measurements are included in the U.S. edition of this curriculum.
Each grade consists of two semester sets to be completed in one year. The ‘A’ textbook and workbook would be first semester, and the ‘B’ textbook and workbook would be second semester. Although the pace of the course really depends on the individual student, 2-3 pages in the text is usually enough for one day's lesson. Brief teacher instructions are provided in the textbook’s preface, but the Home Instructor Guide offers answers and more in-depth instruction and how to use optional manipulatives for the parent. Sets include text, workbook, and Home Instructor’s Guide.
We also offer supplemental Primary Math U.S. Extra Practice Books for each grade level. Optional, these helpful Extra Practice books provide additional practice problems organized by grade level topics. Convenient math manipulative kits are also available. Compared to Saxon Math, Primary Math encompasses a narrower scope. While Saxon Math covers coordinate graphing, negative numbers, square roots, and probability, these topics are omitted from Primary Math and are not covered until New Elementary Math. The smaller scope, however, allows the program to emphasize the basics. Primary Math focuses on the four arithmetic operations (using whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), perimeter, area, volume, angles, quadrilaterals, symmetry, time, length, weight, money, graphs, and algebraic expressions (introduced in 6th grade). Saxon Math moves a bit slower introducing Algebra in Math 87.

Great way to learn!
Really like Singapore math. I wish I had learned math this way. Three of my children have used it, 2 still in elementary school and 1 has moved on to algebra. It has served them well, it prepared the eldest for higher levels of math.

We have used Singapore from beginning. I've actually tried other programs but always go back to Singapore. The Pages are not cluttered, lessons are short so you dont loose childs interest, and it's thorough. I do like using the Textbook and Home Instructors Guide with it.

We switched to Singapore from a more traditional textbook math Math had once been his favorite subject but was fast becoming drudgery We took the placement test at the Singapore website and placed him in 3A My son is an auditory learner and after only a few weeks I have seen a total turnaround with his thinking about math I see him actually thinking through math problems much like I do as an adult There is a greater emphasis on word problems than our previous math program The placement test is essential

My elder daughter has been using primary math up to 6th grade and we see her math excels.
This is straightforward and teaches math at a slightly higher level than the public schools (at least in our experience).
We love the colorful illustrations and the focus on concrete math concepts. Helps students think about the relationships between numbers without focusing on abstract math concepts (ie "critical…
