What is this book?

A teaching guide is the book a maths teacher keeps on the desk. Math Understood 3 Teaching Guide follows the seven units of the Class 3 course and prints the student learning outcomes (SLOs) for each unit, so a teacher, a tutor or a parent can see exactly what a child must be able to do before moving on.

The outcomes are clear and practical: read and write numbers up to 10,000 in numerals and words, identify the place value of numbers up to 5 digits, round off a whole number to the nearest 10 and 100, add and subtract numbers up to 4 digits with and without carrying or borrowing, develop multiplication tables for 6, 7, 8 and 9, multiply a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number, divide a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number with zero remainder, recognise proper and improper fractions, identify equivalent fractions, add and subtract fractions with the same denominator, read and write time using a.m. and p.m., calculate the perimeter of a square, rectangle and triangle and identify lines of symmetry.

Because the guide is built around outcomes, it is also useful for planning lessons, setting tests and checking homework.

Table of contents (as printed)

The seven units in three steps

Numbers and operations (units 1 to 3, pages 2–41). Unit 1 is the longest of the three with 20 pages: it builds numbers up to 10,000, place value to five digits, rounding and Roman numerals. Addition and subtraction (10 pages) and multiplication and division (10 pages) follow. Children now work with tables of 6, 7, 8 and 9 and with 4-digit sums.

Fractions (unit 4, pages 42–55). The biggest unit after whole numbers, with 14 pages. Class 3 is where fractions become a real topic: proper and improper, equivalent, comparing, and adding and subtracting with the same denominator.

Measuring and time (units 5 and 6, pages 56–79). Metric length, mass and capacity with abbreviations (12 pages) and time (12 pages) with a.m., p.m. and the calendar.

Shapes (unit 7, pages 80–91). Lines, quadrilaterals and triangles, perimeter, the parts of a circle and symmetry.
