Your child has received a 'Family Letter' for this unit in their homework folder. It has all the information about this unit and can be kept as a guide for the homework.
Overview of Unit:
Unit 4 focuses on the most common uses of multiplication and division - those involving multiples of equal groups, equal sharing, and equal grouping. In 3rd grade the expectation is that children will use arrays, mental arithmetic, algorithms, and calculators to solve problems invloving the multiplication of 2- and 3- digit whole numbers by 1- digit whole numbers and describe the strategies used by the end of the school year. They are also expected to demonstrate automaticity with x0, x1, x2, x5, and x10 multiplication facts and use strategies to compute remaining facts up to 10x10. Unit 4 has has three main areas of focus:
- To model and solve multiplication number stories and practice multiplication facts,
- To model and solve division number stories and practice division facts, and
- To explore the links between multiplication and division.
