We love this book and recommend it. It helps with third grade level math problems and is helpful when dealing with this

[Robin Morgan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Picture books are gone and students are reading real books now and having to write a report on what they’ve read. In this, the third book in his series, author Stephen Hill is helping parents teach their children a wide range of new math problems, area which parents now take for granted. They include: Multiplication, Division, Area, Perimeter, Time, Reading/Understanding Graphs, etc.

And like in his previous two books, the author has presented his 120 math problems using words instead of number. This forces the book’s readers to read the problem being shown and then translate each problem to numbers on the paper they’re using to solve the problem. This combination of reading and then solving each problem reinforces their understanding of the math they’re now learning.

For wanting to further educate its young readers in having to understand and translate written math problem into actual numbers and then do the math, I’ve given this book 5 STARS.

Multiplication and division are the primary focus in these exercises for grade 3 students. Area, perimeter, measurement, and rounding build on math skills learned in earlier chapters. Props can be used for more visual learners. For example, a clock with hand could help student struggling with the elapsed time exercises.

I sat down with some of the kids in the apartment complex and we went through some of the problems. They enjoyed it as much as I did working with them. Books like this are always welcome especially when the child needs help. Kudos to Stephan Hill
