The Primary Mathematics U.S. Edition series of elementary math textbooks and workbooks is meant to be part of a system of learning in which adult supervision and independent practice go hand in hand. The main feature of this series is the use of the Concrete to Pictorial to Abstract approach. Students are provided with the necessary learning experiences beginning with the concrete and pictorial stages, followed by the abstract stage to enable them to learn mathematics meaningfully. This approach encourages active thinking process, communication of mathematical ideas and problem solving, which helps develop the foundation students will need for more advanced mathematics.

– Above extract from Preface of Primary Mathematics U.S. Edition (reproduced with the permission of the publishers).

The textbooks contain the learning tasks for students to do under adult supervision and interaction, along with practice and review problems. They are meant to be non-consumable and to be used along with the Primary Mathematics Workbooks.  New mathematical concepts are introduced through a spiral progression that builds on concepts already taught and mastered.

Answer key not included in the textbook.  Answers (with solutions) can be found in the teacher’s guides or home instructor’s guides. Answer key only booklets are also available – one for Primary 1-3 and one for Primary 4-6.
