Description
In Math Grade Three, students will use math strategies to explore four areas, including adding and subtracting multi-digit whole numbers, building an understanding of multiplication and division, developing an understanding of fractions, and extending geometric reasoning to lines and attributes of quadrilaterals. Students will see the relationship between multiplication and division as they learn to multiply and divide within 144 to solve real-world problems. Students will define attributes of quadrilaterals and develop an understanding of fractions and area. Other engaging activities include learning about data, time, and measurement.

Students will need the following materials: printer, cell phone or scanner, headset or earbuds, notebook, pen, pencils, erasers, scissors, coloring materials (markers, crayons, colored pencils), glue, tape, stapler, centimeter and inch ruler, printer paper, lined paper, colored paper, and general household objects for activities.
Besides engaging students in challenging curriculum, the course guides students to reflect on their learning and evaluate their progress through a variety of assessments. Assessments can be in the form of practice lessons, multiple-choice questions, writing assignments, projects, oral assessments, and discussions. Core courses will use the state-approved grading scale and Special Area courses will use an S or U grading scale.
