Description
Beginning with a review of addition and subtraction, this one-year math course thoroughly covers multiplication and division facts to 100, adding and subtracting 4-digit numbers, multi-step word problems, perimeter and area of rectangles, adding/subtracting fractions, geometry, elapsed time, and weight and capacity. The text is divided into 16 units with each unit containing 6-12 lessons for a total of 144 total lessons: 128 regular and 16 optional enrichment lessons. Units conclude with a Wrap that may be used informally to review concepts or as an end of Unit Test. In Grade 3, the Student Workbook is divided into 2 parts: Part A covering Units 1-8 and Part B Units 9-16. An optional Manipulative Kit is available with the required math manipulatives.
A placement test is not available. Your child, however, is ready to start Third Grade Math with Confidence if he/she can:
- Count to 1,000 by 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s
- Read, write, and compare 3-digit numbers
- Understand place-value in 3-digit numbers
- Know addition and subtraction facts to 100
- Know how to use place-value strategies to solve mental math problems like 55+37, 36+8, 90-42, or 74-6
- Know how to add and subtract two and three-digit numbers with the standard written process (“stack method” or “borrowing and carrying.”)
