3rd Grade Math B

In this problem-based curriculum, students will build on their math skills through exploration with interactives and virtual manipulatives. Students will begin to develop an understanding of fractions and fraction equivalence by representing fractions on diagrams and number lines, generating equivalent fractions, and comparing fractions. They continue their study of measurement as they represent length data in halves and fourths of an inch on line plots. They learn about and estimate relative units of measure including weight, liquid volume, and time, and use the four operations to solve problems involving measurement. Students also continue their study of geometry as they reason about shapes and their attributes, with a focus on quadrilaterals. They solve problems involving the perimeter and area of shapes. In the final unit of this course, students will prepare for Grade 4 by revisiting major work and fluency goals of the grade, applying their learning from the year.
