Beast Academy 3B is the second set in the four-set series for Grade 3. Guide 3B delivers complete lessons to the students of Beast Academy in an engaging comic-book style.
Beast Academy 3B covers the following topics:
- Multiplication: The times table, the commutative and associative properties, multiplying numbers that end in one or more zeroes.
- Perfect Squares: Squaring a number that ends in 5, finding the next perfect square, multiplying nearby numbers using perfect squares.
- The Distributive Property: Order of operations, area models of the distributive property, multiplying multi-digit numbers.

The Art of Problem Solving folks present:Â Beast Academy. Proving that any monster can do math, these comically monstrous beasts take you along with them as they face math challenges both inside and outside the Academy. Described as “rigorous, challenging, engaging, and fun” by the publisher, I would expect nothing less from a curriculum designed to ready your child for the demands of MATHCOUNTS and post-elementary AOPS curricula.
There are four parts for each grade level though the series is not all available as of this writing. Each part consists of two books: a Guide and a Practice book. Core instruction takes place in the Guide which is written in colorful, comic-book style and stars a cast of not-quite-cute monsters. Each book is divided topically into three chapters.
