Engaging, hands-on lessons will help your child develop a strong understanding of math, step by step.

• Multiplication and division facts to 100
• Adding and subtracting numbers to 10,000
• Area and perimeter
• Adding and subtracting fractions
• Multi-step word problems
• Money, elapsed time, length, weight, capacity, and geometry

Your child will develop strong math skills and a positive attitude toward math with fun activities like the Fraction Diner, the Chocolate Shop, Escape the Maze, and Division Crash. This set includes:

• Instructor Guide,
• the two full-colour Student Workbooks (Part A and Part B)

You just need to supply some simple household items (like play money, base-ten blocks, and a ruler) to make math come alive for your child.  No expensive manipulative kits needed.

The workbooks are consumable.  Purchase extra workbooks if teaching more than one student.  You will need both Part A and Part B for the full year.

Features:

• Hands-on, incremental lessons that steadily build conceptual understanding
• Daily review to ensure children retain what they’ve learned and master essential skills
• Games and pretend activities make math fun
• Easy to use, with clear directions and explanatory notes
• Delightful (and optional) enrichment lessons, with picture book recommendations and real-life math application activities

Is your child ready for Third Grade Math with Confidence?

Your child is ready to begin if he can:

• Count by 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s to 1,000.
• Read, write, and compare 3-digit numbers.
• Understand place-value in 3-digit numbers.
• Know the addition and subtraction facts mostly by heart. (He should be able to recall the answers to most within 3 seconds or so. This varies depending on the child’s overall processing speed, so it is not a hard and fast guideline.)
• 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. (You might know this method as “stack math” or “borrowing and carrying.”)

If your child is not fluent with the addition and subtraction facts but knows the rest of the skills listed above, she is probably ready to begin Third Grade Math with Confidence. Make sure to add 5 minutes of daily addition facts practice or subtraction facts practice to each lesson until your child becomes more fluent with the facts.
