Presenting a dolphin theme with mascot Darby, All About Math Level 3 is engaging with its multisensory lessons, thorough with its explicit and incremental teaching, and easy to teach with its open and go, scripted lessons! Level 3 Materials include the Teacher’s Manual and Student Packet. The Teacher’s Manual has 41 scripted lessons that are designed to be spread out over a number of days. It is recommended to spend around 20 minutes a day on math unless your child is eager to continue. The Student Pack includes Flip Into Math Activity Book, Darby’s Math Tools (cardstock manipulatives including place value charts and disks, fraction shapes, number line, multiplication table, and more), and themed stickers. Games, real world application worksheets, and other activities help new concepts “stick” and kids to stay engaged in their learning.
Levels in All About Math do not necessarily correspond to grade levels – the goal is to master topics before moving to more advanced concepts. Some concepts taught in Level 3 include identifying fractions on a number line, identifying equivalent fractions, comparing fractions with the same numerator or denominator, learning three-dimensional shapes, solving one-step and two-step story problems involving measurement and money, identifying and explaining patterns in the multiplication table, understanding the relationship between multiplication and division, reading and writing numerals up to nine digits, multiplying a one-digit number by a two-digit number, and dividing within 100.
This program emphasizes strong conceptual understanding. Worksheets are not drill based but rather activity and game based. The Math Reflection questions at the end of each lesson help students verbalize their thought process and reinforce their understanding of the concepts.
One manipulative kit used for all grade levels is available to purchase separately. Students also need a small dry erase board with markers. ~ Gina
