Third Grade Color Math Curriculum

NEW! The McRuffy Third Grade Color Math Curriculum follows the same design as 2nd Grade Color Math.

The curriculum contains a detailed Teacher's Manual, colorful Workbook, Response Book, and Resource Pack containing card sets, games, posters, and more.

The program also uses popular math manipulatives (sold separately in some packages).
An inexpensive kit has been packaged especially for the curriculum.

McRuffy's Third Grade Color Math places a special emphasis on auditory skills. Daily activities require students to listen to directions, review math skills, and record answers in the Response Book.

    copy masters, and reference material,
