Transcript of Everyday Math Night 3 rd Grade. Fast Facts U of C research- based Spiraling curriculum Specific...
Fast Facts
• U of C research- based• Spiraling curriculum• Specific algorithms• Many chances to check for understanding• Interactive lessons and games
Student Materials
• Student Reference Book• Student Math Journal• Home Links• Manipulatives (ie: slates/calculators/game
decks etc.)
Classroom Procedures
• Tear out Home Links each day• Stay on track with unit• Read and check Family Letters at the start of the
unit• Home Links- name, date, time• Homework nearly everyday • Possible “challenge” assignment choice• Sign and return graded end of unit assessments
within two days of test date
Curriculum At A Glance…
• Addition and Subtraction (ie: facts and number stories)• Linear Measurements and Area (ie: measuring using a
ruler/ finding area and perimeter)• Multiplication and Division (three units- building from
fact practice to longer problems and number stories/ depicting multiplication and division in different ways)
• Place Value in Whole Numbers and Decimals (ie: reading and writing large numbers/ reading numbers on both sides of a decimal point)
End of Year Curriculum…
• Geometry (ie: lines/segments/2-D and 3-D shapes)
• Fractions (ie: naming and comparing)• Measurement and Data (ie:
Length/Weight/Mean and Median)• Probability (ie: using data to predict outcomes)• *** Emphasis all year on mathematical
thinking and problem solving along with necessary skills for students (ie: time/ money)
Math Assessments
• Informal assessment (ie: observations/ exit slips/participation)
• Checks for understanding (starred material)• Open Response with rubric• Self Assessments • End of Unit assessments– Part A (material that should be mastered)– Part B (material practiced but not yet mastered)– Grading of Parts A/B will vary test to test
Components of a Lesson
• Mental Math and Reflexes
• Math Message
• Lesson (including hands on activities, math journal pages, math boxes)
• Game Day (use manipulatives and practice skills through games)
Lattice- Multiplication Algorithm
• Step 1: Write the problem and the appropriate “box”
• Step 2: Label the numbers around the box• Step 3: Use basic facts to multiply each digit
together. Place the answer in the appropriate half box.
• Step 4: Add up numbers on a diagonal.• ***Sample Journal Page 226
Games to Play…
• Coin Top It– You will need coin cards– Rules similar to “Addition Top It” on page 270 of SRB
• Name That Number – You will need number cards– Rules on page 299 of SRB
• Beat the Calculator (Addition)– You will need a calculator and number cards– Three players– Rules on page 278 of SRB
