Good to know

Traditional, skills-first practice based on California's pre-Common Core grade-level standards (math and English language arts, 1997; science and history-social science, 1998). Not affiliated with or endorsed by the California Department of Education. States set their own standards. Check yours.

This kit is supplemental practice, not a curriculum. It was made with AI assistance. Every answer in the key is computed and checked, and each science and true-facts page is checked against reference sources, listed after the answer key.

The Super Smart math and language pages (27 pages) are the same pages found in our Grade 3 Grade Kit. If you own that kit, you already have them.

Print on US Letter paper in black ink. Print the cut-out pages (bingo and match cards) on one side only, on heavier paper if you have it.
