  3. United Effort In order for our children to be truly successful academically and socially, we need to work together .

  4. Third Grade Math Kelly Herrmann Math Coach Tues., Fri., every other Wed. kherrm@kyrene.org

  5. Brisas Math Philosophy… “The essence of mathematics is not to make simple things complicated, but to make complicated things simple!” Mathematical skills used as tools to solve meaningful problems Flexible thinking and multiple strategies are encouraged Talk, represent, and write about math Work in pairs, individually, and/or groups Computers, calculators, cubes, dice, rulers, number cards, pattern blocks, tiles, paper, pencil Scott Foresman-Addison Wesley (SFAW)/ Investigations Common Core/2010 Arizona State Math Standards

  6. Problem Solving Embedded in everything we do in our classrooms Solve, create and write expressions and equations to represent the problem and how they solved the problem Communicate their problem solving and their strategies Problem solving assessed on a monthly basis

  7. 3rd Grade Computation Focus on mastery of multiplying and dividingnumbers from 0 through 10 6 x 4 = ? (x means “groups of”) *(direct modeling) **** **** **** **** **** **** *4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 24 (repeated addition) * 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 (skip counting) * 6 x 2 = 12 and so 12 + 12= 24 or 5 x 4 = 20 and if I add 1 more 4, that’s 24 (derived facts) *6 x 4 = 24 (fluent, efficient, accurate)

  8. 3rd Grade Computation Addition and subtraction of multi-digit numbers up to four digit numbers using multiple strategies should be mastered 1,234 1,000+5,000= 6,000 +5,678200+600= 800 • 1 1 30+70= 100 1,234 4+8= 12 +5,678 6, 912 6,912 (algorithm with understanding)

  9. 3rd Grade Computation Focus on understanding of fractions and fraction equivalence. *Benchmark fractions- ⅓, ⅕, ⅙ ,⅔, ¾, ½ (pizzas, pies, candy bars, pattern blocks) *Fair Shares- “Amy has 12 pencils. She is going to share the pencils fairly among 3 people. What fraction of the pencils will each person get?” *Fraction of a set-

  10. Algebra Focus on mastery of solving one step equations using addition and multiplication. ex: Joey had 26 papers in his desk. His teacher gave him some more and now he has 100. How many papers did his teacher give him? 26 + n = 100 Focuses on understanding and application of place value. 1, 345 (1,000+ 300+40+5) *models, pictures, symbols, spoken and written words, and expanded notation.

  11. Parent Tips… Mon., Sept.12 6:30-7:30 pm- Parent Math Night!! Believe that your child can successfully learn mathematics Expect your child to work hard to learn mathematics Have your child explain the problem and his thinking out loud and show all work Practice basic multiplication and division facts Help your child connect math with daily life and point out your own activities that involve math Keep open communication between school and home
