Guide
On page 30, the section title should say "Regrouping & Breaking."
On page 38, in the second panel, Lizzie adds 62+70 and gets 135. Oops! This should be 132.
On page 55, the first line of the Play instructions should say, "Players take turns placing one of their own coins on the number line until the number line is full."
Practice
On page 57, problem 83 should begin "The eight numbers below use only the digits 2 and 9."
Practice
On pages 50 and 52, the Guide Pages referenced at the bottom of the page should be 50-54, not 44-49.

On page 114, in the solution to problem 90, Alex's skip-counting should end with 43, not 41.
Practice
On page 120, the last sentence of the solution to problem 124 should begin "The area of a square..."
On page 120, the solution to problem 130 assumes that 0 is not used. Since 0 is often considered a whole number, we can get 0+2+4+10=16 if we use 0.
On page 72, problem 130 is ambiguous (depending on whether or not zero is considered a whole number). If you consider 0 a whole number, the correct answer is 16 (0+2+4+10, for example).
On page 86, problem 84 should ask "How many points did the koombas score?"
On page 88, problem 91 has the dimensions of the third rectangle reversed. The height should be 700, and the width should be 270.
Guide

On page 20, the fourth equation should have been 11+n=14 to match the equation Grogg solves on the next page.
Practice
On page 58, it says "Use the following for Problems 101 and 102." It should say "...Problems 103 and 104."
On page 61, in the example, the second explanation has two 11's that should be 18's. It should say, "(10×18)÷7 has the same remainder as (3×4)÷7." The last sentence of the solution should read, "So, (10×18)÷7 has remainder 5."
On page 66, there is a missing "that" in problem 149. The question should read, "What is the side length of an equilateral triangle that has the same perimeter as the nonagon?"
On page 70, it should recommend that the book be used with Guide 3C, not 3A.
On page 92, our chart incorrectly lists September as having 31 days. September has 30 days.

On page 124, the solution to problem 117 should read (187+188+189)÷75, not (183+184+186)÷75.
On page 129, the solution to problem 146 says that 72÷6 has remainder 6. It should say that 72÷6 has remainder 0.
On page 128, the solution to problem 144 should say, "We find the remainder when each number is divided by 5".
Guide

On page 88, Captain Kraken's speech balloon is the wrong color.
Practice
On page 40, we misspelled denominators as denominatators in the first balloon. Oops!
On page 54, problem 58 should be 866+1,671=2,537.
On page 60, problem 88 incorrectly states that 1600-1000=700!? Of course, we meant to say 1600-1000=600.
On page 64, the worked example should state, "Since 268 is greater than 250 and 765 is greater than 750..." (765 replaces 768).
On page 106, the hint for problem 148 is from a discarded problem about teeth brushing.
On page 132, in the solution to problem 32, the last sentence should say that we round 23 5/9 up to 24.
On page 138, the solution to problem 101 should read, "333 is close to 320..."

On page 66, the common primes in the overlapping section of Grogg's Venn diagram are 2, 2, and 3. He inexplicably multiplies 2×3×3=18 to get the GCF of 84 and 108. He should have multiplied 2×2×3=12.
On page 81, the stop sign should ask for the smallest denominator of 7/10 + 2/15.
On page 98, Grogg's last balloon should read 23/20÷22/15, not 23/20÷15/22.
On page 107, Alex should not have included 11 and 25 as a pair of primes (since 25 is not prime). Even the brightest little monsters at Beast Academy make mistakes sometimes.
