Primary Math Standards Edition was adapted to
meet the pre-Common Core California math standards. If you compare the Primary Math
US Edition and Standards Edition, some topics have been rearranged, and the Standards
Editions has additional content covering probability and data analysis,
negative numbers, and coordinate graphing. A glossary of terms was added to
each of the textbooks. In levels 2A through 5B there is now a cumulative review
after most units in both the textbook and the workbook. 6A and 6B feature
reviews after every other unit. Many of the units have a few pages that have
been added in order to "reteach" a concept from an earlier level.
Each grade consists of two semester sets to be completed in one year, the A
textbook and workbook for first semester and B textbook and workbook for
second semester.
The Teacher’s Guide provides instruction, as well as
daily lesson plans, assignments, answers to the textbook and workbook
assignments, lists of suggested manipulatives, and reproducibles. Although written
for classroom use, they are fairly easy to use one-on-one. Teacher’s Guides
also include a 6-month subscription to Math Buddies, an online program
created by the publisher for practice and reinforcement. Please note that we
currently do not stock the Home Instructor Guides.
Sets include a textbook, workbook, and teacher guide. If you don’t need all of the information
in the Teacher Guide, multi-grade Answer Keys are available separately.
Optional supplements for each grade include the Test Books (A and B), and the
Extra Practice Books (one book covers both A and B at grade level).
