  10. 3rd Grade Learning Objectives

  11. Katy ISDFact Fluency PlanPurpose-It is designed to help students develop fluency and automaticity of basic facts. This will be accomplished through a balanced approach focusing on conceptual understanding, math fact strategies, and the relationships between operations.

  12. How is it different than Fast Facts ? • Fact strategies will be the focus and they will be worked on in math workstations. The strategies will also be taught by the teacher in daily math instruction. • Fact checks are given throughout the grading period as an informal assessment to inform instructional strategies that are best for each student. These are NOT graded but they are timed and self reflection is an important focus. Time allotment is 1 minute and 30 seconds for each set of operation problems. • 2nd -5th graders will have one timed district assessment at the end of each grading period which will count as one daily grade. (90%) Time allotment 1 minute and 30 seconds also.

  13. How can we help at home? Encourage your child to practice strategies at home using the parent calendar on the grade level website for game ideas and strategy procedures. Talk to your child about improving his/her previous time and reaching for automaticity with basic facts.
