Horizons Math, Grade 3, Complete Set

Product Description

No more hours of boring, endless repetition - your kids will actually thank you for this interactive math curriculum! Each level has two student workbooks, but the teacher handbook is the main component of the program. All instruction is provided through one-on-one teacher instruction, which is the biggest difference between Horizons and the self-guided Lifepacs.Another big focus in Horizons is hands-on learning using a variety of manipulatives, which can mostly be found around the house: pencils, pipe cleaners, play or real money, thread, a timer, clock, yardstick, etc.Novice home-educators should not be intimidated by the amount of teacher involvement as it is carefully layed out in the beginning of each year's teacher handbook. The teacher handbook also provides a variety of teaching suggestions and supplemental activities for additional practice.

The concepts covered in Horizons 3 include:

Multiplication up to four digits

Division with 2 digit divisors with remainders

Algebraic equations introduced. 176, 178 pages student softcover. 352, 346 teachers guides; spiral-bound reduced student pages.

I love the fact there is no repetition and the kids can work at their own pace with me as a guide right along side.

My daughter loved the colorful pages in the workbook and actually looked forward to the next lesson. It seems to move quickly from one topic to the next which is great for some kids but not so great for others. The one thing I didn't like was that the Teachers text isn''t set up to show you step by step how to do the new topic that is taught.

This is an excellent math program. I have used it all along for my oldest son and my youngest son is just starting out w/ K. I have never even been tempted to switch. The material is excellent and your child will cover a lot of ground, with enough practice for each skill learned on each page so that not only will your child grasp the skill, it will really cement into his mind. The only complaint I have is about the teacher manuals. I have issues with whoever thought up the layout for those. There are 2 volumes and they really should be spiral bound all in one book. No good reason to separate them. The main gripe I have with this math program in general is that you will be left high and dry frequently while teaching from the TM. All kinds of flashcards, etc. will be called for, and unless you read way ahead and purchase accordingly, you will be scrambling around a lot. VERY frustrating. The flascards should be included with the TM, where you can just copy them and cut them out, and be ready. The wording in the TM doesn't always make logical sense. Also be aware that the separate worksheet packet you can buy is NOT the same as the worksheets in TM book 2. So don't think you'll be saving yourself any headaches by buying that package. You'll still have to lug your book to the copier and copy the worksheets. Unless you do as I did, which is pull the binding completely off the book and tear the worksheets out one by one, and put them in a three-ring binder. I am slowly pulling the binding off all the books and separating the pages to put into a binder, but really for the price I paid for this program, I should not have to do that. So, yes...buy this program for its content, and call or email Alpha Omega to complain, complain, complain about the TMs...maybe they will change them for the better.

Wonderful. Colorful and engaging. Really holds my son's interest. It is helping us to slowly undo the damage done by using Saxon Math 3 last year. Best advice I can give you is to order the separate worksheet packet that goes with this grade level. Otherwise you will have to deal with taking your TM to get copies made of the last 80 or so pages. What a pain. They should include the worksheet packet in with the complete set, but oh well. Also, I am using this with my 4th grade son, even though it has the big 3 on it. This math program is advanced by one grade level. Fortunately the grade level is not imprinted on each worksheet page so your child never has to know. We both love it and plan to stick with it until he is ready to move on to Teaching Textbooks for the more advanced math. TMs needs major improvement. They are paperback and hard to work with.
