Math Mammoth Light Blue Series, developed by an experienced math teacher/homeschool mom, will appeal to independent learners and their busy parents, with consumable, full-color Worktexts that provide all the teaching instructions, explanatory diagrams, practice problems, and mental math challenges. Also in the “Pro” column is Math Mammoth’s mastery-based emphasis on teaching number sense and conceptual understanding – not just memorizing math procedures. Chapters concentrate on a specific concept, teaching the relevant skills step by step through a block of lessons, before moving on. Parent teaching materials, such as concept overviews and third-party links to online games and worksheets, are included at the beginning of each chapter. Pair Light Blue Series Worktext A with sold-separately Worktext B for a full year of math instruction. The Tests & Cumulative Review book and an Answer Key are also sold separately. 190 pages, softcover. Grade 3.
Please note that the Canadian version is a copy of the US version with the following differences: the Canadian dollar is used to teach currency, including counting Canadian coins and rounding to the nearest five. The system of metric measurements is taught, and large numbers are formatted with a space for the thousands separator. Canadian English spelling of words is used when applicable.
