We had a test today on Unit 7 and tomorrow we will be starting Unit 8. Your child has a family letter all about unit 8 to give to you, in their homework folder, which can be kept and used to guide your child with their homework.
In addition to learning Unit 8, we will also be spending time over the next couple of months doing general math practice for the state exam.
Unit 8 - overview: Fractions
In this unit we will review the uses of fractions and fraction notation and develop a solid understanding of equivalent fractions. The approach to equivalent fractions in 3rd grade is informal and includes many hands-on activities. We will be exploring fractional and spatial relationships; Introducing the number line for fractions; Finding equivalent fractions and solving number stories involving fractions.
