3rd Grade Jumbo Math Success Workbook: 3 Books in 1--Basic Math, Math Games and Puzzles, Math in Action; Activities, Exercises, and Tips to Help Catch Up, Keep Up, and Get Ahead

I bought this for my daughter for homeschool. I also purchased the Spectrum 3rd grade math book. Now, you still have to teach the math but I found out of the two books Sylvan was the best for breaking down how to do the problem. It put math in an easy way for my daughter to understand and eased her into how to solve the problems correctly. She would choose this book over the Spectrum book because it made math interesting and fun. She loved the colorful pictures, and the math games. Some of the math games we still play to keep skills sharp since she liked them so much. You do need scissors, storage bag for game pieces, a ruler, and something to act as a spinner if you don’t have a brad and card stock handy. Spectrum was best for just practice, not teaching- think worksheet. Spectrum is for once the kid has mastery of the topic and not is actively trying to learn. Needless to say, she has the 4th grade book now!

Perfecto para aprender en inglés!

My son just started using the book for extra practice during the summer break. I need to sit with him while he does it but so far he is enjoying the math lessons. Very happy with the purchase.

Too many useless materials, waste of paper

As a former high school math teacher, I spend lots of time trying to teach my boy math and I have found this book to be right up our alley. Most pages have only 5 or 6 problems and I think that's about all a kid needs to get their brain going. The problems increase in difficulty from page to page so when it is all said and done I feel like he's really done a lot of thinking. What I really like about this book is that it is 3 books in one. There are basic skills (colorfully presented in a variety of ways), then games and finally real world problems. This allows your child to study every concept a bit and then review them all again in games portion and then apply them in the 3rd "book" within this 1 book.My son is a reluctant student but he hasn't put up much of a fight with this book because it isn't overly laborious and provides colorful variety. Having full color pictures of money, cupcakes, etc... has really made it all seem like stuff he should know so there is very little, if any, arguing about why we have to do math in the summer. We also give him a sticker for each sheet he completes and then as he meets milestones he gets rewards. This book was great for us. I also find that we can breeze through a pages during a meal. I'll show him the pages, he does all the thinking and I write in the answers so he can eat before supper gets cold. Pretty painless for everyone and he's so prepared for 2nd grade that they'll hopefully skip that and let him stick with 3rd or 4th grade content.
