The textbook contains the learning tasks along with the practices and reviews that are to be done in class. The separate workbook contains the independent work. As in the 3rd ed., you need both the textbook and the workbook. Please note that teacher materials for the U.S. Edition are not compatible with the Standards Edition. The spiral-bound Standards Edition Teacher's Guides include answers to the Textbook and Workbook problems.
Primary Mathematics Textbook 6A Standards Edition
Description
- Mathematical concepts are introduced in the opening pages and taught to mastery through specific learning tasks that allow for immediate assessment and consolidation.
- The Concrete Pictorial Abstract approach enables students to encounter math in a meaningful way.
- Direct correlation of the textbook to the workbook facilitates focused review and evaluation.
- The modeling method enables students to visualize and solve problems quickly and efficiently.
- New mathematical concepts are introduced through a spiral progression that builds on concepts already taught and mastered.
