Jan Lyn Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hi Ladies, I posted earlier, and seems that my post vanished or I did something wrong on this new, beautiful board. I need to purchase R&S Math, grade 3 for my daughter at a good used price. I am concerned about editions. I found a set used, but it looks slightly different from the sample I see online. Would this matter at the third grade level? Does anyone have any ideas on if this math is good at this level? My daughter wants a textbook approach with lots of drill work. She has done Math U See prior to this change and we always have had to supplement as their is not enough drill work. She is my "text booky" child. Smile..........was not prepared for this type! Any thoughts? I'd sure appreciate them. Blessings, Janice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 all the way. The original editions' copyright was in the 80s. The revisions copyright is after 1990. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Lyn Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 Thanks Ellie. Are you guessing the older edition is not all inclusive of what is in the new, such as multiplication and division, which are now stressed in grade 3? If so, important to know. Thanks, Janice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 It isn't that they are not included; it's that they are, plus other things. I think the revisions are more age appropriate than the originals were. The revised TMs are better, too. OTOH, the original editions had *wonderful* word problems.

Jan Lyn Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 That clarifies a lot for me. I appreciate it. Janice:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
