Go to Placement Tests Samples Unit 2 - Multiplication and Division - Part 1 Division by 10  Unit 5 - Angles - Part 1 Measuring Angles  Unit 7 - Area and Perimeter - Learning Task 1, p.85  The Home Instructor's Guide will help you to understand the important concepts of the Primary Mathematics (U.S. Edition) curriculum and how these concepts fit in with the program as a whole. It will provide suggestions to help you to introduce each new concept concretely and use the textbook effectively. It includes additional activities for reinforcement and practice and a suggested weekly schedule. The guide contains:

• Notes to the instructor with some mathematical background for each section in the textbook
• Objectives for each chapter
• Teaching activities using manipulatives where appropriate
• Reinforcement and enrichment activities
• Answers and solutions to corresponding textbook pages and learning tasks for the lesson, to be discussed with the student
• Answers to the corresponding workbook exercises and solutions to many of the problems
• Mental math pages

This guide can be used with Primary Mathematics U.S. Edition textbooks and workbooks. It cannot be used with Primary Mathematics Standard Edition or Common Core Edition books.

Each lesson is accompanied by numerous activities which expand and reinforce the concepts for that lesson and which are designed to fit both teachers who wish to adapt lessons to their own classroom situation, and teachers who desire easy-to-follow, effective teaching strategies. Through the notes to the teacher and the detailed objectives for each learning task in the text and activity in the guide, these Teacher Guides help teachers to fully understand the purpose and concept behind each set of problems, both within the context of the unit and the context of the overall curriculum. This new edition is a revision and reformatting of the previous edition. Each lesson contains clear objectives, background notes, and a suggested lesson plan in an easy-to-follow format. Some lessons include optional reinforcement and enrichment activities, when appropriate. Answers, as well as worked out solutions for many problems, are provided for both the textbook and workbook. This version of Teacher's Guide cannot be used with Primary Mathematics Standards Edition or Common Core Edition books.

Go to Placement Tests Samples Chapter 1: Algebra - Algebraic Expressions Chapter 3: Ratio - Ratio and Fraction Chapter 5: Speed - Average Speed Review F (on customary measurements) The Primary Mathematics U.S. Edition series of elementary math textbooks and workbooks is meant to be part of a system of learning in which adult supervision and independent practice go hand in hand. The main feature of this series is the use of the Concrete to Pictorial to Abstract approach. Students are provided with the necessary learning experiences beginning with the concrete and pictorial stages, followed by the abstract stage to enable them to learn mathematics meaningfully. This approach encourages active thinking process, communication of mathematical ideas and problem solving, which helps develop the foundation students will need for more advanced mathematics. Practice exercises are designed to provide the students with further practice after they have done the relevant workbook exercises. Review exercises are provided for cumulative reviews of concepts and skills. All the practice exercises and review exercises are optional exercises. The color patch  is used to invite active participation from the students and to facilitate oral discussion. The students are advised not to write on the color patches. Above extract from Preface of Primary Mathematics U.S. Edition (reproduced with the permission of the publishers). The textbooks contain the learning tasks for students to do under adult supervision and interaction, along with practice and review problems. They are meant to be non-consumable and to be used along with the Primary Mathematics Workbooks. Answers or answer keys for Primary Mathematics U.S. Edition textbooks and workbooks are found in the teacher's guides and home instructor's guides. Answer keys booklets are also available - one for Primary 1-3 and one for Primary 4-6.
