We have begun our work on Unit 2, Understanding Multiplication and Division. In this unit our primary focus is on answering the question, "How do we represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division in every day life?" We use a variety of strategies: showing multiplication and division in arrays, equal groups and as hops on a number line. Students will use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. Patterns in the addition or multiplication tables will be a focus as well as continued work with place value concepts. Telling and writing time to the nearest minute and using a number line diagram to show increments of time are another area we will work on. Additionally, we will work on drawing a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories and solve one-and two-step "how many more: and "how many less" problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs. Students are really excited for this unit! A parent communication letter outlining many of these concepts and the work we will be doing will be found in your child's binder.
Hello Grade 3 families! Because of the shortened week this week, I've told students that there will be no homework sheet. My expectation is that students will practice facts for 5 minutes each night and return the signed fact fluency record sheet that shows September and October scores by Friday, 10/14. Students made wonderful gains in October and should be proud! Keep up the great work!!
Hello Grade 3 Families! Our math coach, Mrs. Rigatti, put together the following pdf document that shows addition and subtraction with regrouping. Included are several youtube videos that you may find helpful. Check it out! |
