By the end of grade 3, students are to be able to show number sense with numbers from 0-999. This includes flexible representing of number (for example, 100 can be 10 groups of 10, 2 groups of 50, 100 one units, 5 groups of 20, 25 groups of 4, etc.). We practise skip counting to bridge over 100 (95, 100, 105, 110, 115....995), ordering numbers by comparing the value of digits in their place, determining which numbers are less than or greater than other numbers, and rounding.
Each week, the students are learning and practising different addition and subtraction strategies to support their learning and faster recall of the 0-20 addition/subtraction facts.
This is an important concept that helps us to understand the passage of time throughout the school day and sets us up for good time management and a better understanding of how long it takes to complete tasks. Being able to tell time is an important skill. We encourage you to practice with your child at home.
Important concepts:
I can understand the relationship between units of time
I can demonstrate understanding of units of time (second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year)
Students will:
Use clocks to tell time to the hour, half hour, and quarter hour
Complete word problems using clocks
add hours to a start time
find the start time when given the end time and how long the activity was
It is important that learners become proficient in their basic facts in order to do more complicated math problems with ease. We recommend that learners practice their basic facts every week. 5-10 minutes everyday would be best.
