HOMESCHOOL MATH CURRICULUM GRADE 3 || BJU 3 FLIP THROUGH

[@LivingWithEve]

We started using an abacus this year for the first time. HUGE difference!!!

[@MommaSchmoozeReviews]

We love using it when we remember to!

[@xenaPW16]

I am using BJU kindergarten math this year with my kindergartner. It has been a good fit for her. I plan on using BJU next year for math for her. My other kids are using Math-U-See, but she needed a spiral approach to math.

[@MommaSchmoozeReviews]

That's what I like about homeschooling, you can cater differently for each child. I'm glad you figured out what works for them👍🏼👍🏼

[@AlwaysBooked]

Does the teachers manual add much to the workbook?

[@MommaSchmoozeReviews]

I'm not sure, I never had one for this grade. If you go to the BJU website you can see inside a teacher guide for this specific grade 😀

[@zandilemeier3204]

Do you need anything else for grade 3 Math (example manipulatives or extra worksheets)? Or is this (student workbook) sufficient as is?

[@MommaSchmoozeReviews]

I think the student book is sufficient but I think I might have used flashcard games and an abacus 🧮 Not sure if I used the abacus in 3rd or not but we had one for the ower grades. Hope this helps!!!

[@mamafoxoffour7859]

Maybe I missed it but is there an assessment for each chapter along the way to kind of progress monitor?

[@MommaSchmoozeReviews]

There are reviews at the end of each chapter 👍

[@denisejohnson4037]

Did they teach how to skip count from 6-9 in grade 2? My daughter is in 3rd grade but she still need to practice those. I guess we can start after she finishes multiplication 2-5 chapter though.

[@MommaSchmoozeReviews]

Yes, they do learn it I 2nd grade and 1st in this specific curriculum. I love teaching skip counting on an abacus! Or fun things like candy or lego.

[@Dreblueskies]

For some reason I always associate BJU with online learning.

[@MommaSchmoozeReviews]

Yeah, I can see why. A lot of YT videos are more about BJU online but you can choose to teach from the workbooks like any other curriculum. They have great resources!

[@hannahc1072]

Do you use the teachers manuals? I’ve heard they are geared towards a classroom and can be hard to adapt for homeschool.

[@MommaSchmoozeReviews]

No, I didn't purchase the teachers manual. So far I haven't needed one yet.

[@MommaSchmoozeReviews]

I'm sure they are helpful...I might have to in the later grades

[@nataleelamberty582]

Is this BJU press? I love how this looks but when I go on their website it shows me a different book

[@MommaSchmoozeReviews]

Yes, it is BJU. Maybe this edition is not current, this one was the newest edition when I used it. Are you looking at the same level?

[@jaymewilson887]

Can you just use the textbook or would I need to have the other books as well?

[@MommaSchmoozeReviews]

I've only used the student books, so far I haven't needed a teacher guide but it is probably helpful if you need extra help explaining the concepts. I'm sure I will need one for later grades.

[@priscillashaw5715]

Do you know if this is common core?

[@MommaSchmoozeReviews]

I don't think they follow it but I'm sure it covers all the math skills needed for each grade.

[@anatapia3067]

Whats the difference between this one and the 3rd edition

[@MommaSchmoozeReviews]

I'm not sure, the 4th one is just revised but not exactly sure the revisions made. You can probably get more information on it BJU's website.

[@elizabeth0265]

Do you feel this math curriculum solidifies math facts well? Or do you find yourself having to work with your student independently to get them down pat?

[@MommaSchmoozeReviews]

I think it's a great curriculum, it teaches using the spiral-method- basically it goes over concepts throughout the book and reviews older concepts taught. I think it also depends on the child and if they are natural at math or not. Some students might need more help no matter what curriculum they use. I still use this with my kids and highly recommend it 👍🏼 Hope this helps!

[@journalofahomeschooler]

Like the colors and pictures, but looks like common core correct me if I am wrong.He does not enjoy common core and I am not good at math. Thanks for sharing.

[@MommaSchmoozeReviews]
