Third Grade

The Parent/Teacher Guide has complete instructions on how to teach this math program. The Student Workbook has worksheets and practice pages. Both are needed for a complete program and are included when this set is ordered.

In this math series students create their own methods for solving arithmetic problems. They use concrete materials to build and prove their answer. Then they are asked to solve it a different way and to verify that answer. The goal is understanding: knowing what it feels like when one understands (which often is accomplished through "Aha" flashes of insight); knowing what it feels like when one does not understand and what to do then; learning perseverance and how to push through feelings of uncertainty and frustration.

Learners create, routinely look for, and discover patterns in numbers, shapes, the sky, the world. They invent problems for themselves and others, estimate, predict, and look for answers that make sense; they develop heuristics (practices that help them solve problems, e.g., draw a picture), and look for relationships (the more the more).
