‘Dragon Maths 3’ is a write-on student workbook, produced by Sigma Publications, that contains a full mathematics programme for most Year 5 students. It revises work at mathematics curriculum Level 2 and starts work on Level 3. It guides students through the Additive Stages (stages 5-6) of the Number Framework.

Each chapter is based on a strand of the New Zealand Mathematics and Statistics Curriculum document. The number strand has been allocated 6 chapters (79 pages) to adequately cover all the numeracy strategies currently being taught in primary schools. A revision test is provided at the end of each chapter.

This revised edition includes two new chapters devoted to combining strands into challenging problem solving tasks (Number together with Algebra and Geometry together with Measurement). These chapters require students to understand both topics to solve a range of real life problems.

'Dragon Maths 3' features instruction boxes, worked examples and a full set of answers (removable) to help students work independently of the teacher. The best use of this resource is as a classwork/homework book after new maths ideas have been introduced and the class has done some practice with teacher guidance. It can also be used as a revision resource before national standards tests or as a catch-up text for students who have missed school or need to fill gaps in their maths knowledge.
