3rd Grade Winter I Quarter Math | We Can All be Mathematicians Q2

Welcome to winter quarter of third grade math! This series of 4 classes (Fall, Winter, Spring, & Summer) can be used as your student's sole math course for their winter year or as a supplement to another math class or curriculum. Students should have successfully completed fall quarter of 3rd grade math. 

We will work through the Singapore Math Curriculum which is aligned with the Common Core math standards. In addition to Singapore Math, this class will utilize other activities and strategies to teach math such as number talks to improve student number sense, centers to differentiate learning, and projects which will incorporate older material with what we are currently learning. Most weeks we will meet in class 3 times and I will also have a short recorded lesson for students to view on an out of class day. My teaching style is "I do, we do, you do" through this method, I will guide student learning to meet each student where they are at and differentiate their learning. 

Here is a sample schedule of our class. I will adapt this schedule to fit the needs of the learners in each section. 

Weeks 1 & 2
Division Review, Division with remainders, Word Problem Practice
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.A.2
Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.D.8
Solve two-step word problems using the four operations. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding

Weeks 3 & 4
Multiplication with and without Regrouping
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.A.3
Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.C.7
Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.

Weeks 5 & 6
Dividing 2 digit and 3 digit numbers
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.A.3
Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

Weeks 7 & 8
Bar Graphs, Picture Graphs and Tables 
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.MD.B.3
Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step "how many more" and "how many less" problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs.
