Rod&Staff Math editions

[Janice Lyn]

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

all the way.

The original editions' copyright was in the 80s. The revisions copyright is after 1990.

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

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.

That clarifies a lot for me. I appreciate it.
