Built for test day
Unit 12 explains each type of question on the state test, multiple choice, short response, and extended response, and teaches simple strategies for reading carefully and showing work. Each practice test has 24 multiple-choice questions, 4 short-response questions, and 1 extended-response question, for 35 points. Scoring guides show exactly how written answers earn points, so children learn what a complete answer looks like.
The practice tests are modeled on the New York State Grade 3 Mathematics Test, and the skills they cover are the same third grade skills tested in end-of-year assessments across the United States.
Every lesson follows the same simple plan
- Learn It: a short explanation with a worked example
- Try It: guided problems with hints
- Practice: uncrowded pages with room to show work
- Test Ready: test-style multiple-choice questions
- Explain It: a written question that builds math reasoning
The routine is the same in both volumes, so children who used Volume 1 already know exactly how to work.
Learning that feels like an adventure
Children finish the journey with Looby the Number Explorer, a friendly fox, climbing from Fraction Falls to the summit of the adventure map. Every unit ends with a Help Looby! mission and Looby’s Camp puzzles, so review feels like play.
Who is this workbook for?
- Parents preparing a child for the spring state math test
- Homeschool families finishing the third grade math year
- Teachers and tutors who need test-style practice and review pages
- Summer review before fourth grade
A simple test prep plan
- Fall and winter: work through Units 7–10, about one lesson a day.
- Six weeks before the test: use Unit 11 to review the whole year and find weak spots.
- The last three weeks: do Unit 12, then one practice test a week, in two sessions like the real test.
- After each practice test, score it with the answer key and redo the questions that were missed.
Frequently asked questions
Is this only for the New York State test?
No. The tests are modeled on the New York State Grade 3 Math Test, but they practice the third grade skills that every state tests. Any third grader can use the book.
How many practice tests are included?
Three full practice tests. Each has 29 questions in two sessions, worth 35 points, with answer keys and scoring guides.
Do we need Volume 1 first?
Volume 2 continues where Volume 1 ends, so it is best used after it. Children who already know place value, multiplication, division, and basic fractions can start with Volume 2.
Is the inside printed in color?
The cover is in full color. The pages inside are printed in black and white, which keeps the price low and makes the puzzle pages easy to color.
