Singapore Math – 70 Must-Know Word Problems Workbook for 3rd Grade Math, Paperback, Ages 8–9 with Answer Key Paperback – 15 Jun. 2009

I don't understand the other reviews. It says quite clearly that the book is made of 70 problems, so what is the problem? Whether they are spread over 400 pages or concentrated over 20 is immaterial. Personally I like the use of the space.In addition the problems are grouped in chunks of similar problems. Some "topics" are more difficult than others, but none are overly difficult, so they should all be solved with a bit of thinking without spending too much time on them.

The book looks o k, but, having had a quick browse through, I did notice that some of the questions HAD been answered by the previous owner. I have only checked 1 or 2 though. I will erase any of the markings/calculations without checking the other questions that have any of these on. Despite this, the book seems fine. Thanks.

When i first opened this book I thought likenother people, oh only 1 question per page, that do any seem good use of space. But then I realised it’s more about getting the children to develop different strategies to show ways to solve the problem, not just finding an answer. In the back are model pages that show 3 or 4 ways of solving the problem- which you can use to model with children. I tried it out yesterday and it was really great.

What a swizz!! ONE QUESTION at the top of each page, the rest of the page is completely blank!!!Very interesting explanation at the beginning, about the principles of Singapore Math.
