Overview Continued
Students will
experience math activities expressing numbers greater than 1,000 in
different ways, estimate to find
reasonable answers, make larger money combinations, add and subtract with
multiple digit numbers, and experience 2 and 3-dimensional geometric shapes. Students will
gain math fact fluency in addition and subtraction to 24, read, write,
and order numbers up to 100,000 in standard form, written form, and
expanded form. They will discover equivalent representations of 4-digit
numbers and use the commutative and associative properties of addition
and subtraction.
Students will practice
writing extended responses to problem solving situations. Students will
organize and display data in a variety of formats, and they will read,
interpret, and analyze the data displays. Students will tell time to 5
minutes, determine elapsed time, read a thermometer, measure with a
centimeter and inch ruler, select correct tools for measuring length,
weight, volume, mass, temperature, and time, and know the unit the tool
measures. (ex. a scale measures pounds) Students memorize the
multiplication facts 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and 10 using arrays and charts.
By March, they will learn their multiplication/division fact
families up through 11.
Third graders will experience finding the median and
mode of sets of data and work with combining matched sets with two and three
elements. Addition will include four digits with regrouping. In February and
March, simple fractions and decimals will be added and subtracted using
pictures. All of the computation operations will be applied to whole
numbers. In
quarter 4 of third grade, third graders will explore and find
area and volume; add and subtract decimals and common fractions with
pictures; review basic multiplication facts 1 - 11; make and use coordinate
systems on grids; addition and subtraction fact fluency; add and subtract
4-digit numbers with regrouping including money; understand and solve
problems using appropriate computational techniques; and understand and
solve problems with estimation strategies in problem solving. All of these
mathematical experiences build a strong foundation for fourth grade
mathematics.
