NEW! Mathology Grades 3-6 Practice Workbooks
Pearson Canada had an opportunity to connect with math leaders and educators across Canada to research about the importance of workbook. From the research, we learned that:
- print resource is important
- teachers were spending a lot of time to look for the right worksheets, printing, photocopying
- and teachers who use worksheets for practice use them often.
Based on the research, we created Mathology Practice Workbook, available in Teacher Edition and Student Edition per Grade 3-6. The Workbook:
- supports independent, purposeful practice where students can continue to develop their understanding and sharpen their math skills
- provide additional assessment opportunities for teachers
- allow parents and caregivers an opportunity to see what their child is learning
