Math Mammoth Grade 3-B Worktext (Canadian version) is the student worktext for the second half of grade 3, and part of the Math Mammoth Grade 3 complete curriculum.
This curriculum is essentially the same as the U.S. version of Math Mammoth Grade 3, only customised for the Canadian audience in these aspects:
- The curriculum teaches the metric measurement units.
- Numbers are formatted with a space as a thousands separator, and a point as a decimal separator.
- Page (paper) size is Letter.
The "Grade 3" refers to the U.S. grade 3, and corresponds roughly to Canadian school system's year 4.
This book, the 3-B worktext covers place value with 4-digit numbers, the concept of division and basic division facts, geometry (area and perimeter), measurement, and fractions.
Please note this student worktext does not contain the answers.
Features
- Math Mammoth focuses on conceptual understanding. It explains the "WHY", so your children can understand the math, not just learn "HOW" to do it.
- Concepts are often explained with visual models, 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.
- The curriculum is mastery-oriented. 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.
- There is a strong emphasis on mental math and number sense.
- It requires very little teacher preparation.
- 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.
- For multiplication tables and division facts, you can use our online practice program (free).
