<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This is the student worktext for the first half of mathematics studies for 3rd grade. It covers the following topics: addition and subtraction and word problems, the concept of multiplication, the multiplication tables, time, and money.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Math Mammoth Grade 3-A Worktext</em> is the student book for the first half of grade 3, and part of the Math Mammoth Grade 3 complete curriculum. This book covers addition, subtraction, word problems, graphs, the concept of multiplication, multiplication tables, telling time, and money. </p><p>The worktext contains both the necessary instruction and the problems & exercises (the 'text' & and the 'work'; thus a "worktext"), and is fairly self-teaching.</p><p>The curriculum meets and exceeds the Common Core standards. Please note this is a student worktext and does not contain the answers. The answer key book is available separately.</p><p><strong>Features</strong></p> <ul> <li>Math Mammoth focuses on <strong>conceptual understanding</strong>. It explains the "WHY", so your children can understand the math, not just learn "HOW" to do it.</li> <li>Concepts are often explained with <strong>visual models</strong>, followed by exercises using those models. These visual models can take the place of manipulatives for many children; however, it is very easy to add corresponding manipulatives to the lessons if so desired.</li> <li>The curriculum is <strong>mastery-oriented</strong>. This means it concentrates fairly long on a topic, delving into its various aspects. This promotes conceptual understanding, as opposed to spiral curricula that often tend to jump from topic to topic too much.</li> <li>There is a strong emphasis on <strong>mental math and number sense</strong>.</li> <li>It requires <strong>very little teacher preparation</strong>, which is a big help to most parents.</li> <li>The curriculum has no separate teacher's manual nor is it scripted. The introduction to each chapter has some notes for the teacher concerning the material in the chapter. All the instruction is written directly to the student in the worktext, and there also exist accompanying videos where you can see Maria herself teach the material.</li> <li>After each chapter introduction, you will find a list of Internet links and resources (games, quizzes, animations, etc.) that can be used for fun, illustrations, and further practice.</li> </ul><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Thank you for creating Mammoth Math! It is beautifully and incrementally organized to promote student learning, makes the kids think, has excellent problem solving throughout, and follows the Common Core better than most curricula. All this for a superb price, especially since teachers pay for much of what is provided in their classrooms!<br /> <br /> Cheryle Pope</p><p> </p><p>Math Mammoth has been very inviting for my son - it provides a lot of guidance on how to do a problem using mental math methods. It provides grids that he can use, which help him know when he should/could write the problem down and show his regrouping work. It eventually weans the kids off of these grids. My son now feels comfortable with the methods, and will tackle a problem mentally if possible, but will readily write it down if necessary. Another advantage is that all of the instruction and worksheets are included in the text. I appreciate that all of the grade levels are included for a very economical price. I ordered this program at the end of our 3rd quarter of 3rd grade, and I have been having my son move quickly through the 3rd grade work to touch on areas where he was weak or cover material he has missed. This leaves us in a good position to start off 4th grade next year. I'll be having my 2nd grader use this program next year as well, and we are looking forward to it!<br /> <br /> Jen</p><br>
