Synopsis

Math Mammoth Grade 3-A worktext (Light Blue Series) is the student book for the first half of third grade math. Please note: The answer key is not included. All answer keys for grade 3 are sold in a separate book.

In this part A, the main areas of study are:

• addition and subtraction within 1,000 (including mental math);
• the concept of multiplication;
• the multiplication tables;
• telling time and working with time intervals;
• counting coins and solving problems related to money.

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, which is a big help to most parents.
• 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.
• 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).

This curriculum is essentially the same as the U.S. version of Math Mammoth Grade 3, only customized for the Canadian audience in these aspects:

• The curriculum teaches the metric measurement units. Imperial units, such as inches and pounds, are not used.
• The spelling conforms mostly to American English, taking into account a few key differences where Canadian English follows British English.
• Numbers are formatted with a space as a thousands separator, and a point as a decimal separator.
• The currency used in the chapter on money is the Canadian dollar.
• Page (paper) size is Letter.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Maria Miller was born and grew up in Finland where she also received a master's degree in mathematics in 1997. She loves math and teaching, so becoming a math teacher was a natural career for her. Miller started writing math books in 2002, prompted by her experiences in tutoring homeschooled children. She felt the books they were using were inferior, especially when it came to conceptual understanding of mathematics, so she began to write books that focus on the concepts and the "why" of mathematics, though not forgetting the "how" and the needful practice. Over the years, her materials have become popular and appreciated, both among parents and teachers. In her free time, she likes walking, bicycling, swimming, reading, helping out with Inspire4.com, playing piano, and listening to music.
