Summary: master the fundamentals with this book
Review: This book is what you expect from DK. Solid drills with clear and concise reviews on all 3rd grade topics. Answer keys are complete and easy to lookup. Nice stickers and high quality printing. The problems are not difficult. Its goal is to make your child master the fundamentals, not just know them.
An effective way to achieve mastery is to time the drills. I recommend you set a clock for your child and let him experience the real test feeling and get rid of procrastination. There is a nice website Beestar.org that provides free daily timed math exercises you can use to compare your child's speed with others. My son's math skills (include speed) improved significantly with this book. I'm glad I bought it.
