Description

If you're looking for a little more help on how to teach Primary Math, these support guides are just what you need. Each guide provides a suggested teaching schedule, detailed notes to the instructor referencing specific course book pages, games and activities, complete textbook and workbook answers, step-by-step solutions for all word problems, and mental math pages. Suggested games and activities may require additional materials, such as a base-10 set, multilink cubes, hundred chart, etc. Currency replacement pages (depicting U.S. money) are also included. Guides for all levels can be used with both the Singapore and U.S. editions, although you may need to make minor adjustments for level 2B. ~ Anh

Publisher's Description of Primary Math US 4B Home Instructor Guide

This guide is meant to help instructors using Primary Mathematics 4B when teaching one student or a small group of students. It should be used as a guide and adapted as needed.

It contains:

  • Objectives
  • Notes to the instructor, providing added explanation of concepts
  • Instructional ideas and suggested activities
  • Game ideas to reinforce concepts from the corresponding textbook pages and learning tasks
  • Homework assignments
  • Answers and solutions to all the learning tasks, workbook exercises and reviews and textbook practices and reviews

Included is a suggested weekly schedule and pages for mental math (in the appendix). Practices and reviews in the text can, for the most part, be done independently by the student. Some can be used as part of the lesson. Since some of the practice questions are challenging, they provide good opportunities for discussion . The mental math pages can be used as worksheets and many can be done orally. They can be used any time after they are referenced in this guide and can be used more than once.

This guide can be used with both the U.S. edition and the third edition of Primary Mathematics. Items specific to either edition, such as different answers, different page numbers, and different exercise numbers, are clearly indicated. U.S. spellings are used in this guide, and answers involving number words use the current U.S. convention of reserving the word "and" for the decimal and not using it in number words for whole numbers.
