Math 3 Updates
Learners complete their benchmark assessments this week. We will also begin practicing for state assessments which will be mid-april. Learners are working on the format of testing, not the content. We will practice features such as drag and drop, scrolling, and using the line tool. We will also focus on how to break apart multi-step problems and checking work so we can show what we know.

3rd graders are continuing exploration of fractions and finishing rough drafts of their timelines. A good reminder when discussing timelines at home- Timelines are number lines. When creating a timeline start with a ruler and create equal "tick" marks using the ruler (for example, on the one inch marks). Choose the best increments for your tick marks- 2, 5, or 10. Plot your years in these increments. Lastly, plot your important dates on the timeline.
For more practice: create a timeline at home showcasing their life from birth to now. Use increments of every 2 years- For example, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018. Third graders revisit equivalent fractions for review and we begin our Trimester 2 project. Learners are making a timeline of their interviewees. We will practice finding the correct increments for the timeline based on the number of years their interviewee has been alive. Most learners use increments of 2, 5 or 10. We will be working on this rough draft in order to perfect our final draft for expo night. Hope to see you!
www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks2/maths/number/equivalent_fractions/read/1/ Learners compare fractions by using numberlines. We practice making equations true by using fractions and the symbols "greater than," "less than," and "equal to." Learners will take their fraction assessment this week.
Learners continue learning about and exploring fractions. We will be working on comparing fractions using models and numberlines.
