In reply to Katherine. Awww, that makes me so happy to hear, Katherine! I created these curricula for own oldest son to make sure he didn't grow to dislike math and I'm always delighted when I find out they are helping other kids too! Thank you for taking time out of your day to let mek now!

Hi! I used this curriculum with my daughter and she loved it and did it very happily. After about week 20 she wanted to do it as a daily thing, so that’s what we did, finishing it quite quickly. I think she really loved the variety and the fact there aren’t a dozen of the same questions in a row. This is a huge deal as every other maths curriculum we have tried has lost it’s appeal after a month and become a burden. It was also easy to discover where the gaps in her knowledge were and to give her the support needed to fill those gaps.

We are in Australia, and so switched some of the money questions, but we still did the questions using US measurements for weight, length, and temperature. As someone who sews and knits and cooks, I know how much we use these measurements even having the decimal system. Thank you so much for providing this! I’m off to print out the third grade curriculum!

In reply to Reena. I do the second. When my kids were younger, probably 1st through 2nd or 3rd, I would have to sit next to them for the entire worksheet and we'd go through them one by one. I sort of have to because they can't read, so I'd read them the question, then wait for them to try on their own, then give them a little help. I try to let them figure out as much as they can on their own. With my older kids, I see what they can do first, but they know that they can always ask me for help if they need it. Usually they can do about half on their own. Some weeks more, some weeks less.

I think my son would really like these. Do you teach the concepts first or do you give them the worksheet, see what they can figure out on their own, and then supplement with teaching for whatever they don’t understand?

I opened up Pinterest to get some inspiration for creating my own worksheets similar to this. I’m so glad I found these, and thank you so much for saving me time!
