Brain Quest workbook grade 3

I disliked it because I assumed the book was like new and when I received it it was all filled out and useless if everything was filled in the fill in the blank. For that reason it was not worth it for us.

Good book, but too much math!

My daughter likes this book and did many of the activities in the car on a road trip - however - her only complaint is that there is too much math. I checked the book myself and out 14 sections, 5 are math. She is good at math, but it isn't her favorite subject and there is no way she'd ever complete 5 chapters of math problems unless I forced her to.

Perfect

I was looking for a book for my daughter to use this summer to keep her mind fresh with what she learned this year. This is perfect since the beginning of 4th grade is basically review, she will be ready to go!

Comprehensive

After having worked with several different series I think I've finally discovered one to stick with. We homeschool. I am always looking for the best curriculum and a great "guide" for general education. Brain Quest is well written, colorful and engaging. My son asks if he can spend extra time working in it! (As my jaw hits the floor.) The writing section is especially awesome.

How to get young brain cells to prance

This is one in a series of workbooks, each of which offers an abundance of learning activities, exercises, and games that are presented with superb production values. Appropriate to the given age level, much of the material focuses on basic subjects such natural science, mathematics, history, and social studies while enabling children to strengthen their reading, reasoning, and writing skills. The editors of Brain Quest believe that: "All kids are smart - though they learn at their own speed All kids learn best when they're having fun All kids deserve the chance to reach their potential - given the tools they need, there's no limit how far they can go!" I agree, while presuming to add that children will learn more and have more fun meanwhile if, when completing various exercises, adults are involved. As a parent of four and a grandparent of ten, I can personally attest to the pleasure an adult will also have. Each volume in the series is a WORK book. Exercises are completed with crayolas or pencils on the page on which it appears. Correct answers are provided. One caveat: Resist the temptation to control the learning process as a child completes an exercise. This volume, Grade 3 (ages 8-9), was written by Jan Meyer, with Anna Shults serving as consulting editor. It is worth noting that Shults was a 2004 National Teacher of the Year Regional Award Winner. The material consists of organized curriculum-based exercises that help children to gain an understanding of spelling and vocabulary, language arts, reading, writing, math skills, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, fractions and decimals, measurement, time and money, word problems, social studies, and science. Also included are more than 150 stickers, an all-new Brain Quest Mini-Card Deck, and a fold-out "Times Table" poster. Here is a representative selection of exercises: There's an Ant on My Aunt! Complete each sentence with the right homophones. (Page 27) Whatever Do You Mean? Write what you think each highlighted idiom really means. (48) A Native American Myth Read the story. [Then] fill in each missing cause and effect. (82 & 83) That's the Point! Read the persuasive paragraph. Then answer the questions. Now it's your turn to write a persuasive paragraph. First think about an issue you feel strongly about. Use some of the persuasive words from the Word Box to strengthen your writing. (124 & 125) Multiplying by One Find the product of each multiplication problem. (178) Rosie's Restaurant Read each fraction problem. Write the equation in the box. Then write your answer on the line. (214 & 215) It's About Time Write the time below each clock. [Next] Answer the questions. (240 & 241) What Came First? Use the time line and your knowledge of history to answer each question. Circle the correct answer. (277) Each of the volumes in this series (pre-K through Grade 4) would be an excellent book for parents, grandparents, and others to purchase and then s
