Class Details:
*** No live meetings for this class ***
Class Fees are $10 or 100 points per semester.
The big ideas in grade 3 include: developing understanding of multiplication and division and strategies for multiplication and division within 100; developing understanding of fractions, especially unit fractions (fractions with numerator 1); developing understanding of the structure of rectangular arrays and of area; and describing and analyzing two-dimensional shapes.
The mathematical work for grade 3 is partitioned into 8 units:
Introducing Multiplication
Area and Multiplication
Wrapping Up Addition and Subtraction within 1,000
Relating Multiplication to Division
Fractions as Numbers
Measuring Length, Time, Liquid Volume, and Weight
Two-dimensional Shapes and Perimeter
Putting it All Together
Materials: Connecting cubes, counters, inch tiles, pattern blocks, ruler, base-ten blocks, colored pencils/crayons, number cubes (dice), grid paper, access to printer for lessons and extra pages linked in lessons
Students will turn in 8 required assessments per semester. These required assessments alternate between investigating grade-level concepts by choosing an assignment from a choice board and turning in a curriculum check-in. Each choice board offers both online and pencil-and-paper options. The curriculum check-ins will be graded based on each student's progress in their individual curriculum. This new aspect of the class will encourage students to make progress through the grade-level class.
Anchor classes are asynchronous, teacher-led classes. Students do NOT have a live meeting. Daily work is provided, and the anchor teacher grades the final weekly assignment. Teachers provide biweekly videos and add instructional supports to each day's lesson. For more information about the curriculum and assignments, please visit the Braintree website.
