Intended to accompany the Student Book, the Home Instructor's Guide provides Student Book answers, select worked solutions, teaching ideas, and strategies to facilitate exploration, discussion, and student-centered learning. The front matter provides background on the program structure, lesson and concept development, and an overview of the Readiness-Engagement-Mastery model of learning.
Note: Soft cover. Includes digital component and answers to Student Book.
Concepts covered include: Numbers to 1,000,000 (group into and count by hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones; represent numbers in various contexts; compare and order; write multi-digit numbers in standard, expanded, and word forms; use place-value models). Recognize, write, name, and illustrate mixed numbers and improper fractions in various forms. Fractions (generate equivalent and compare non-equivalent fractions; convert among mixed numbers and improper fractions; understand decimal notation through hundredths as an extension of the base-ten system). Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm. Understand factors and multiples. Multiply a 4-digit whole number by a 1-digit number and multiply two 2-digit numbers using strategies based on place value. Divide a 4-digit number by a 1-digit number with and without a remainder. Solve multi-digit multiplication and division problems. Multiply or divide to solve word problems. Add and subtract like fractions. Solve word problems involving multiplication of a fraction by a whole number. Add and subtract money amounts. Use mental math and estimation strategies to find sums, differences, products, and quotients. Understand prime and composite numbers. Find the greatest common factor and least common multiple. Determine if a whole number is prime or composite. Use a variety of concrete, pictorial, and symbolic models for the four operations with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. Write and solve equations for multi-step word problems. Determine the missing parts in equations. Identify perpendicular and parallel lines. Understand the relationship between angles and circular measurement. Apply the properties of squares and rectangles. Recognize line symmetry. Solve real-world problems involving length, weight/mass, volume/capacity; converting from larger to smaller units. Find the perimeter and area for squares, rectangles, and composite figures. Construct and interpret line plots. Consult or download the complete Scope and Sequence for a full report of covered topics and concepts.
The Home instructor's guides are great in helping to map out and plan lessons for the school year. I like that it also gives tips on how to teach each lesson along with answers for the student book problems.
I choose this because it's both secular and a rigorous math program.
We are continuing our school year with Primary Math 2022, grade 4. We are wrapping up 4A in a month.
We chose this so the kids could play with them and not worry about breaking them. We love the set!
