Description
Math 3 teaches place value, multiplication, division, and fractions by using manipulatives for an interactive approach to math, although the manipulatives are used less frequently than in the previous years. Mastery of multiplication is expected by the end of the year. A greater emphasis on the Biblical worldview is integrated. Two editions are currently available. The 4th edition teaches alternative strategies for mastering the concepts and offers additional teaching support in the Teacher Edition. The 4th edition TE no longer includes the Teacher Toolkit CD. The content and scope have not significantly changed, although the presentation and problems vary. Some components of the 3rd Edition are not available on our website but may be available directly from BJU Press. Currently, the 3rd edition aligns with the online Video Course from BJU. Homeschool Kits include the Teacher Ed, Student Worktext, Paper Manipulatives, Review Worktext and its Answer Key, and the Test Pack and Test Answer Key. The 3rd and 4th Editions are not compatible.
Colorfully illustrated, the consumable Student Worktexts include space for students to solve the problems, which includes new concepts and review of previously learned material. The Reviews workbook provides additional practice on new and previously learned concepts.
The Student Manipulatives Packet is integral to interactive, hands-on learning. Manipulatives are printed on heavy card stock. Some families, however, may prefer using plastic pieces, which are easier to handle and more durable. Manipulatives in the packet include acorn counters, geometric shapes, clocks, rulers, and thermometers. The packet also contains Number Cards, Fraction Kit, Money Kit, and Place Value Kit and Mat. Most of the items are perforated for easy preparation.
Test Booklets are sold separately and have a separate Answer Key. Tests are not reproducible.
The Teacher Edition is necessary for success as the course is designed for a teacher to present the information to the student. Teacher's Editions provide lesson instruction, lesson activities, and reduced student worktext pages with answers.
