Today we had a test on Unit 4. I am really proud to say that we all did amazing on the math test. We're really getting the hang of 3rd grade maths! Now we need to concentrate on the Open Response questions which require a more thoughtful approach. Students need to use methods such as 'trial and error' to work out these problems...
Overview of Unit 5:
It is nearly impossible to "do" mathematics without having a basic understanding of our notational system for numbers. It is a remarkable system: With just ten symbols- the digits 0 through 9- it is possible to express any value, no matter how large or small. Children who develop a good understanding of our numeration system will not only define their sense of the size of the numbers represented by numerals, but will also develop their estimation and computation skills. Unit 5 has 3 main areas of focus:
- To extend previous lessons on the base-ten place-value system to whole numbers through millions and to decimals through thousandths,
- To apply these concepts to reading, writing, comparing, and ordering whole numbers and decimals, and
- To use whole numbers and decimals in real-life contexts.
