The secret to learning math is consistency.
Ten minutes or ten problems a day, if done consistently, can yield significant results.

Math Galaxy’s 3rd Grade Math covers all Common Core math standards for 3rd grade as listed below and supports Apple Schoolwork.
The concepts are presented in bite-size pieces with unlimited supply of practice problems.
Illustrations are used throughout to reinforce the concepts.
By solving problems students earn robots to use in a maze game, plus other math games and flashcards for all four operations.
