Math 3 Updates
Third graders continue to practice plotting fractions on number lines. We have introduced "stacking" number lines" in order to compare numbers. They can continue practicing math facts at home.

Learners explore equivalent fractions with fraction strips and models. We are focusing on plotting fractions on a numberline. Numberlines always range from 0-1. Learners skills are building as we talk about fractions. Specifically we are using academic language like numerator, denominator, equivalent, and defining fractions as "parts of a whole." Learners are learning how to draw "stacking" fraction numberlines to compare values of fractions. For example, 1/4 < 1/2. Lastly, learners will be exposed to comparing fractions with different numerators and denominators. An example of "stacking" numberlines to compare fractions is below. We "stack" (put one line above the other) the numberlines to be able to visually see which fraction is greater.
WELCOME BACK! This week learners are thrust into the world of fractions. We are working on building a solid foundation for fractions. We will work to understand that fractions are a part of a whole. We will explore this by coloring shapes and working with numberlines. Learners have also been exposed to the vocabulary numerator and denominator.
Video: Fractions into Equal Parts Learners take their division assessment and division performance task. We begin exploration of fractions.
Third graders work to understand remainders. We are also practicing finding the missing factor and reinforcing the relationship between multiplication and division.
